HISTORICAL  MEMORANDA 


OF    THE 


ILLINOIS  VETERAN 

VOLUNTEER     INFANTRY, 

FROM    ITS  ORGANIZATION. 


The  46th  Regiment  Illinois  Infantry  Volunteers,  composed' 
of  Companies  A,  B,  C.  G  and  K,  from  Stephenson   County, 
and  F  from  Richland  County,  rendezvoused  at  Camp  Sutler, 
Illinois,  and  Companies  D,  I,  II  and  E  from  Lee,  Ogle  and 
Whiteside  counties,  rendezvoused   at  Dixon,  Illinois,  was  or- 

fanized  at  Camp  Butler,  Illinois,  on  the  28th  day  of  Decem- 
er,  1861,  under    the    command  of    Col.  JOHN   A.  DAVIS,  of 
Stephenson  county,  who  labored    assidiously  while  the   Reg- 
iment was  in  camps  of  instruction  to   bring    it  up  to  a   high- 
state  of  drill  and  discipline,  with  very  satisfactory  results. 

On  the  llth  day  of  February,  1862,  the  Regiment  'left' 
Camp  Butler  by  rail,  via.  Decatur,  Ill's.,  arriving  at  Cairo 
the  morning  of  the  12th.  and  immediately  embarked  on  the; 
Steamer  "  Belle  Memphis "  with  orders  to  proceed  up  the 
Cumberland  River  and  report  to  Gen.  GRANT,  before  Fort 
Donelson,  Tenn.  After  a  very  pleasant  trip  in  company 
with  the  largest  and  most  magnificent  fleet  of  steamers  ever  be- 
fore seen  on  the  Cumberland  River,  the  regiment  landed  on 
the  west  bank  of  the  same  on  the  morning  of  the  14th  of 
February,  three  miles  below  Fort  Donelson.  The  men  were 
supplied  with  forty  rounds  of  ammunition  each  and  disem- 
barked. Having  no  teams,  nothing  but  what  the  men  could 
carry  could  bo  taken  along.  Everything  else  was  stored  up- 
on the  muddy  bank  and  a  guard  of  invalids  placed  over  it. 
A  weary  march  of  six  miles  was  made  to  reach  the  Head 
Quarters  of  Gen.  GRANT,  to  whom  Col.  DAVIS  reported  on  the 
afternoon  of  February  14th.  The  Regiment  was  assigned  to 
Gen.  LEW  WALLACE'S  command,  but  was  not  ordered  to  the 
front  until  the  morning  of  the  15th  of  February.  Having 
no  tents  and  only  a  limited  supply  of  blankets  and  rations,' 
the  men  suffered  greatly  during  the  cold  and  snowy  night. 
It  was  a  very  rough  initiation  into  the  soldier's  life,  and  few 


40 

indeed  were  the  number  who  did  not  wish  for  a  speedy  ter- 
mination of  the  war  and  the  termination  of  their  enlist- 
ment. 

On  the  morning  of  the  15th  the  Regiment  was  assigned  a 
position  near  the  right  of  the  line  where  the  rebels  had  the 
day  previous  attempted  to  cut  their  way  through  and  where 
it  was  apprehended  they  would  make  another  attempt.  The 
regiment,  however,  with  the  exception  of  changing  position 
several  times  during  the  day,  rested  quietly  upon  its  arms 
until  about  three  P.  M.,  when  it  was  ordered  to  the  front  and 
right  to  support  a  battery  that  was  about  to  open  on  the 
enemy  in  their  works.  JS"o  sooner  had  the  Regiment  taken 
its  position  partially  protected  from  the  enemy's  fire  by  a 
:low  ridge  upon  which  the  battery  was  posted,  than  the  en- 
emy opened  a  most  terrific  fire  to  dislodge  our  battery,  which 
was  annoying  them  very  much,  wounding  three  of  our  men, 
one  mortally.  After  having  several  horses  killed  and  woun- 
ded, the  battery  retired.  There  being  no  sign  of  the  enemy 
attempting  any  advance,  Col.  DAVIS  withdrew  the  Regiment 
to  a  more  sheltered  position  where  it  remained,  until  night 
put  a  stop  to  all  further  work,  and  then  marched  to  its  biv- 
ouac of  the  preceding  night,  which  proved  even  more  cheer- 
less than  the  first. 

Early  on  the  morning  of  the  16th  while  moving  to  our  po- 
sition of  the  previous  day,  messengers  met  us  with  the  joy- 
ful tidings  that  the  enemy  had  surrendered,  which  was  soon 
made  apparent  by  the  numerous  white  flags  seen  floating 
over  their  works.  The  Regiment  continued  its  march  through 
the  rebel  works  and  into  the  town  of  Dover,  where  it  was  at 
once  detailed  to  guard  the  immense  stores  left  by  the  enemy 
^ipon  the  landing.  Very  soon  Gunboats  and  transports  arriv- 
ed at  the  landing  loaded  with  troops  and  supplies,  the  latter 
of  which  were  very  acceptable  to  our  almost  famished  sol- 
diers. 

On  the  17th  of  February  the  Regiment  was  assigned  to 
Gren.  Thayer's  brigade  and  ordered  to  proceed  to  Fort  Hen- 
ry, Tenn.  It  was  provided  with  two  four  mule  teams  to 
draw  rations  and  cooking  utensils,  while  the  tents  and  all 
other  baggage  was  forwarded  by  boat  down  the  Cumberland 
and  up  the  Tennessee  rivers  to  Fort  Heniy.  The  Regiment 
arrived  at  Fort^  Henry  on  the  afternoon  of  the  19th  February 
in  a  terrible  rainstorm  and  through  mud  indescribable. 
While  at  the  Fort  the  Regiment  occupied  the  log  huts  or 
barracks  constructed  by  the  Confederates,  which  proved 
most  convenient  and  comfortable. 

On  the  fifth  of  Mai'ch  orders  were  received  to  proceed  by 
boat  up  the  Tennessee  River.  During  that  afternoon  and 
night,  with  great  difficulty  and  labor,  the  baggage,  supplies 
and  ammunition  were  put  on  board  the  Steamer  "  Aurora.1' 
The  water  was  very  high,  overflowing  the  banks  and  filling 
the  bayous,  which  made  it  necessary  to  transport  all  the  bag- 
gage to  the  steamer  in  a  few  small  and  miserably  constructed 


41 

boats  and  dug-outs,  making  it  a  very  tedious  as  well  as  la- 
borious operation. 

The  Regiment  embarked  on  the  6th  and  started  up  the 
river  on  the  7th.  After  many  delays  it  arrived  at  Savanah. 
Tenn.,  on  the  12th.  It  laid  in  the  vicinity  of  Savanah  until 
the  morning  of  the  18th,  when  it  proceeded  up  the  river,  ar- 
riving at  Pittsburg  Landing  on  the  same  evening.  March 
19th,  disembarked  and  went  into  camp  one  and  a  half  miles 
from  the  landing,  the  men  having  to  carry  the  greater  part, 
of  their  tents  and  baggage  to  camp,  for  the  want  of  other 
means  of  transportation.  The  trip  from  Fort  Henry  to 
Pittsburg  Landing,  on  account  of  the  crowded  condition  of 
the  boat,  bad  water,  and  want  of  proper  opportunity  for  ex- 
ercise, proved  very  injurious  to  the  health  of  the  Regiment. 
Several  died  on  the  way  and  the  sick  list  was  largely  in- 
creased. 

Before  leaving  Fort  Henry  the  Regiment  was  assigned  to 
the  2nd  Brigade,  4th  Division.  The  Brigade  consisted  of  the 
14th,  15th  and  46th  Illinois,  and  the  25th  Indiana  Infantry 
and  was  commanded  by  Col.  James  C.  Veatch  of  the  latter 
regiment.  The  Division  was  commanded  by  Brig.  Gen.  STE- 
PHEN A.  HURLBUT,  of  Illinois.  The  regiment  remained  quiet- 
ly in  camp,  drilling  and  doing  camp  and  picket  duty,  until 
the  battle  of  Shiloh,  on  the  6th  and  7th  of  April.  On  the 
night  of  the  4th  of  April,  our  camps  were  alarmed  and  our 
Brigade  moved  out  about  two  miles  to  Gen.  SHERMAN'S  camp, 
when  we  were  ordered  back,  being  told  that  it  was  a  false 
alarm.  The  part  taken  in  the  battle  of  Shiloh  by  the  Reg- 
iment is  fully  and  ably  set  forth  in  the  following  reports,  viz  : 


COLONEL  JOHN  A.  DAVIS'  REPORT. 

HEADQUARTERS  46in  REGT.  ILL.  VOL.  INFT'Y. 
PITTSBURG  LANDING,  TENN.,  AP'L  8th,  1862. 

CAPT.  F.  W.  Fox, 

Asst.  Adjt.  Geril.  2nd  Brigade  4th  Division. 
Captain: — I  have  the  honor  to  report  to  you  that,  on  Sun- 
day morning  the  6th  inst.,  at  aboui  7£  o'clock,  A.  M.,  the  en- 
emies fire  was  first  heard  in  my  camp,  whereupon  I  ordered 
my  men  to  hold  themselves  in  readiness  to  march  at  a  mo: 
ments  notice,  and  in  less  than  five  minutes  after  receiving 
your  order  my  regiment  was  on  the  march  to  the  battle-field, 
reaching  there  between  9  and  10  o'clock,  A.  M.  It  took  a  po- 
sition ordered  by  Col.  Veatch  in  person.  A  regiment  posted 
about  two  hundred  yards  in  front  of  our  line  gave  way  un- 
der the  enemies  fire,  and  retreated  through  my  line  which 
was  lying  down.  As  soon  as  it  passed  my  men  rose,  dressed 
their  line  and  immediately  commenced  pouring  a  destruct- 
ive fire  into  the  enemy.  The  regiment  posted  on  our  right 


42 

gave  way  and  the  enemy,  keeping  up  a  hot  tire  along  my 
whole  front  and  a  raking  cross  fire  upon  my  right  fllank, 
killing  and  wounding  over  one  half  of  my  right  companies, 
badly  cutting  up  my  other  companies,  eight  of  my  line  of- 
ficers, the  Major  and  color  bearer  wounded,  I  deemed  it  my 
duty,  without  further  orders,  to  withdraw  my  command, 
which  I  did,  to  a  position  beyond  the  brow  of  a  hill,  where  I 
again  formed  it  by  command  of  Col.  Veatch.  Finding  no 
•support  to  my  right  or  left,  I  fell  back  to  the  foot  of  the  hill, 
finding  the  49th  Illinois  Infantry,  commanded  by  Lieut.  CoL 
Pease,  at  whose  request  I  assumed  command  of  both  reg- 
iments and  moved  them  by  the  right  flank  and  established  a 
line  of  battle  on  the  ground  which  had  been  occupied  by  a 
portion  of  Gen.  McClcrnand's  Division,  and  in  front  of  where 
Tayloi-'s  Battery  was  then  planted.  The  enemy  appearing 
in  large  force  over  the  ground  from  which  we  had  just  re- 
treated, I  was  ordered  to  withdraw  my  troops,  that  the  Bat- 
tery could  open  fire  on  the  enemy.  The  49th  111.  Infantry 
deployed  to  the  left  and  my  regiment  to  the  right  of  the  Bat- 
tery. Forming  my  men  again  in  the  rear  of  a  fence  front- 
ing the  enemy,  I  ordered  them  to  lay  down  and  prepared  to 
resist  any  attack  the  enemy  might  make  upon  the  Battery. 
Having  succeeded  in  driving  the  enemy  over  the  brow  of 
the  hill,  the  1st  Brigade  of  Shermans  Division  appeared  upon 
the  ground  for  the  purpose  of  folio  wing  up  the  enemy  in  their 
retreat.  I  joined  my  command  upon  the  left  of  this  Brigade 
and  moved  up  in  line  to  within  two  hundred  yards  of  the  en- 
emy, when  a  brisk  and  destructive  fire  opened  upon  our 
whole  line.  Planting  our  colors  in  trontof  our  line  of  battle, 
I  ordered  my  command  to  shelter  themselves  behind  trees 
and  logs  as  best  they  could,  within  short  range  of  the  enemy, 
and  kept  up  a  constant  fire  until  the  regiment  on  our  right 
had  given  away  and  fallen  back  across  the  ravine,  when  I 
ordered  my  men  to  fall  back  into  the  ravine,  and  moving 
them  by  the  left  flank  I  took  them  out  of  the  range  of  the 
enemies  guns.  In  this  last  engagement,  Capt.  Wm.  Young, 
of  company  "  G."  who  had  succeeded  in  rallying  more  men 
after  the  first  engagement  than  any  other  Captain,  and  who 
heroically  told  me  he  would  stand  by  me  and  the  colors  un- 
til the  last  man  was  killed,  fell,  shot  through  the  mouth,  and 
was  carried  from  the  field.  Beinforcements  now  arriving, 
and  my  men  having  been  compelled  to  fall  back  from  these 
two  fierce  engagements,  had  become  somewhat  scattered.  It 
being  now  one  o'clock,  my  ammunition  exhausted,  having 
lost  my  horse  in  the  first  engagement,  and  compelled  to  go 
on  foot  the  balance  of  the  time,  and  finding  myself  within  a 
half  mile  of  my  Regimental  encampment,  I  marched  my  men 
to  it  for  dinner.  Calling  my  men  into  line  immediatly  after 
dinner,  I  formed  them  on  the  right  of  the  Brigade,  comman- 
ded by  Col.  C.  C.  Marsh,  at  his  request,  in  front  of  and  to  the 
left  of  my  camp,  where  we  again  met  the  enemy.  A  Battery 
on  my  left  leaving  under  the  fire  of  the  enemy,  the  regiments 


43 

both  on  the  right  and  left  fell  back,  but  my  line  did  not  wa~ 
ver,  and  the  other  regiments  were  again  rallied  and  stopped 
the  advance  of  the  enemy. 

We  lay  in  this  position  on  our  arms  all  nignt.  After  break- 
fast in  the  morning,  still  retaining  my  position  on  the  right 
of  Col.  Marsh's  Brigade,  I  moved  with  him  until  I  reached 
and  went  beyond  the  ground  of  our  last  engagement  of  Sun- 
day, when  our  skirmishers  were  driven  in  and  some  confu- 
sion arising  on  the  left  of  our  Brigade,  Col.  Marsh  ordered 
the  Brigade  to  fall  back  and  changing  the  whole  front  of  bis 
line  to  the  left,  he  again  moved  the  Brigade  forward,  The 
enemy  soon  drove  in  our  pickets  and  we  found  him  in» 
strength  along  the  whole  line  of  our  front,  and  when  within, 
two  hundred  yards  the  fire  opened  upon  both  sides,  my  men* 
loading  and  firing  with  the  coolness  of  veterans.  Here  I  had 
another  horse  shot  from  under  me  in  the  midst  of  the  en- 
gagement and  while  the  battle  was  raging  with  the  utmost 
fury.  My  men  determined  that  they  had  fallen  back  for  the- 
last  time,  and  while  receiving  the  fire  of  the  enemy  and  de- 
livering their  own  with  the  utmost  coolness,  I  was  wounded 
and  carried  from  the  field.  Lieut.  Col.  Jones  reports  that 
my  men  still  stood  firm,  holding  their  ground,  although  out- 
flanked, with  the  colors  of  the  46th  and  those  of  the  rebels 
planted  within  thirty  yards  of  each  other  and  the  enemy 
driven  back  for  the  last  time,  when  the  46th  was  ordered^,  by 
Gen.  Hurlbut  in  person,  to  their  quarters. 

I  ought  not  to  close  this  communication  without  bearing: 
tribute  to  the  gallantry  and  bravery  of  my  command.  Lieut. 
Col.  Jones  was  with  the  regiment  throughout  all  its  engage- 
ments, and  did  his  duty  manfully.  Maj.  Dornblaser,  severly 
wounded  in  the  arm  in  the  early  part  of  the  action,  remained 
with  me  until  the  men  were  brought  off  the  field  and  re-form- 
ed, and  did  not  leave  until  after  a  peremptory  order  from  my- 
self to  go  to  his  quarters.  Capt.  Musser  of  Company  "  A."" 
while  his  brave  company  was  assailed  by  overwhelming: 
numbers  to  the  front  and  right  flank,  still  kept  his  fire  pour- 
ing upon  the  enemy  and  his  ranks  dressed  until  himself 
wounded  and  carried  from  the  field,  seven  of  his  men  killed 
and  twenty  wounded  in  the  action.  The  company  held  its 
ground  as  did  all  the  others  until  ordered  to  retreat.  Capt. 
Stevens  while  bravely  keeping  his  men  in  line  to  bring  them 
off  the  field,  fell,  fatally  wounded,  the  nearest  man  of  his 
company  to  the  rebel  line.  Capt.  Marble  of  Company  "  E/r 
fell  while  brandishing  his  sword  and  calling  on  the  Major, 
begged  him  to  take  it,  saying,  "  if  the  rebs  get  me  they  shall 
not  get  my  sword."  Capt.  McCracken  received  a  severe 
contusion  in  the  first  engagement,  but  kept  on  duty  with  his 
company  the  whole  of  the  two  days.  Lieuts.  Hood,  Barr,. 
Arnold.  Ingraham  and  Howell  were  all  wounded  in  the  first 
engagement  of  Sunday  while  manfully  doing  their  duty  at 
their  posts.  Too  much  praise  cannot  be  awarded,  to  the 


44 


brave    officers    and  men  of   the  46th   Illinois  Infantry   who 
helped  to  win  our  signal  victory. 

All  of  which  is  respectfully  submitted.

April  9th,  1862. 

DEAR  SIR  : — I  beg  to  thank  you  and  the  officers  and  sol- 
diers of  the  46th  Illinois  Infantry  for  their  noble  conduct 
during  the  action  of  Monday  morning  last,  when  your  la- 
mented Colonel  so  promptly  responded  to  my  request  to  take 
a  position  in  my  command  and  so  gallantly  led  you  in  the 
face  of  the  enemy  with  so  fatal  a  result  to  himself.  My 
heartfelt  sympathies  are  with  you  in  your  severe  loss,  and 
your  soldierly  conduct  shall  receive  a  fitting  notice  in  my 
official  report. 

I  am,  sir,  Truly  Yours,

EXTRACT  FROM  COLONEL  VEATCH'S  REPORT. 

HEADQUARTERS  2ND  BRIG.  4xn  Div. 
PITTSBURG,  TENN.,  April  10th,  1862. 

CAPTAIN  S.  D.  ATKINS, 

A.  A.  A.  Gen'l,  4th  Division. 

On  Sunday  morning  while  most  of  the  troops  were  at 
breakfast,  heavy  firing  was  heard  on  our  line  in  a  direction 
authwest  from  my  camp.  In  a  few  moments  the  2d  Brigade, 
consisting  of  the  14th  Illinois  Iniantry,  Col.  Hall,  15th  Illi- 
nois Infantry,  Lieut.  Col.  Ellis,  46th  Illinois  Infantry,  Col. 
Davis,  and  25th  Indiana  Infantry,  Lieut.  Col.  Morgan,  was 
formed  in  lino  and  awaiting  orders.  In  a  short  time  Gen. 
Hurlbut's  aid,  Lieut.  Long,  directed  me  to  move  forward  to 
support  Gen.  Sherman,  and  to  take  a  position  near  a  field 
used  for  reviews,  beyond  Col.  Rap's  Headquarters.  When 
we  reached  the  field  the  enemy  was  pressing  rapidly  forward 
toward  that  point.  A  line  of  battle  was  already  formed  in 
front  of  us  and  a  second  line  in  the  rear  of  the  first  was  being 
formed  on  our  right.  I  had  but  little  time  to  examine  the 
ground,  but  took  the  best  position  that  could  be  found  to 
support  the  troops  in  front  of  us.  An  officer  representing 
himself  as  acting  under  Gen.  Sherman's  orders,  rode  up  in 
great  haste  and  directed  mo  to  move  my  Brigade  by  the 


45 

right  flank  and  join  to  the  line  which  was  forming  on  our 
right.  I  executed  the  movement  as  directed  but  it  placed 
the  right  of  my  Brigade  on  worse  ground  than  I  had  chosen, 
thougn  it  had  the  advantage  of  forming  a  line  of  battle  of 
greater  length. 

The  enemy  now  opened  fire  on  the  troops  in  front  of  us 
which  threw  them  into  confusion  and  they  broke  through 
the  lines  of  the  15th  and  46th  Illinois  Infantry,  many  of  them 
without  returning  a  fire.  At  the  same  time  the  line  on  the 
right  of  this  Brigade  gave  way  and  left  the  15th  Illinois  In- 
fantry exposed  to  the  whole  force  of  the  enemies  fire  in  front 
and  a  raking  fire  from  the  right.  Lieut.  Col.  Ellis  heorically 
held  the  ground  and  returned  the  fire  wi£h  deadly  effect. 
While  cheering  his  men  and  directing  their  fire,  he  fell,  mor- 
tally wounded.  Nearly  at  the  same  time  Major  Goddard 
was  killed,  and  the  regiment,  without  field  officers,  was  com- 
pelled to  fall  back  before  overpowering  numbers. 

The  enemy  was  moving  another  heavy  column  on  the 
point  occupied  by  Col.  Davis  of  the  46th  Illinois  Infantry. 
The  line  in  front  of  him  broke  and  rushed  through  his  ranks, 
throwing  them  into  confusion.  As  soon  as  these  scattered 
troops  had  cleared  his  front  he  poured  in  a  well  directed  fire 
upon  the  enemy,  which  for  a  time  checked  his  progress,  but 
it  was  impossible  to  hold  his  position  against  a-  force  so  far 
superior.  Major  Dora  blase  r  was  severely  wounded,  a  large 
number  of  his  company  officers  disabled  and  his  color  guard 
shot  down.  Col.  Davis  seized  his  colors  and  bore  them  from 
the  field,  presenting  a  most  noted  mark  for  the  enemy  who 
sent  after  him  a  terrificfire  as  he  retired.  I  directed  "him  to  fall 
back  and  rally  his  men  in  the  rear  of  the  fresh  troops  that 
were  then  advancing. 


It  will  not  be  claiming  too  much  for  this  Brigade  to  eay, 
that,  but  for  its  determined  resistance  to  the  enemy,  he  would 
have  reached  the  center  of  our  camp  early  in  the  day.  The 
field  officers  behaved  with  gallantry  on  every  occasion. 


Col.  Davis,  Lieut.  Col.  Jones  and  Major  Dornblaser  of  the 
46th  Illinois  Infantry,  each  displayed  coolness  and  courage 
in  resisting  the  heavy  columns  thrown  against  them.  Major 
Dornblaser  was  wounded  and  compelled  to  leave  the  field 
early  on  the  first  day.  Col.  Davis  was  severely  wounded  on 
the  second  day  while  gallantly  fighting  in  Col.  Marsh's  Brig- 
ade and  was  carried  from  the  field.  Lieut.  Col.  Jones  took 
command  and  conducted  his  regiment  with  skill  and  courage 
until  the  battle  closed.

BRIG.  GEtf.  S.  A.    HURLBUT'S    CONGRATULATORY 

ORDER. 

The  General  commanding  tenders  his  heartfelt  congratula- 
tions to  the  surviving  officers  and  men  of  his  Division,  for 
their  magnificent  services  during  the  two  days  of  struggle 
which,  under  the  blessing  of  God.  has  resulted  in  victory. 
Let  the  Division  remember,  that  for  five  hours  on  Sunday 
they  held,  under  the  most  terrific  fire,  the  key  point  of  the 
left  of  the  army  and  only  fell  back  when  outflanked  by  over- 
whelmning  numbers,  pressing  through  points  abandoned  by 
our  supports.  Let  them  remember,  that  when  they  fell 
back  it  was  in  order,  and  that  the  last  line  of  resistance  in 
rear  of  the  heavy  guns  was  formed  first  by  this  Division. 
Let  them  remember,  that  on  the  morning  of  Monday,  with- 
out food  and  without  sleep,  they  were  ordered  forward  to  re- 
inforce the  right,  and  that  whenever  either  Brigade  of  this 
Division  appeared  in  the  field  of  action,  they  were  in  time  to 
support  broken  planks  and  to  hold  the  line.  Keep  these  facts 
in  your  memory,  to  hand  down  to  your  children  when  we  con- 
quer a  peace,  and  let  it  be  the  chief  pride  of  every  man  in 
the  command — as  it  is  of  your  General — that  he  was  at 
Pittsburg  with  the  FIGHTING  FOURTH  DIVISION. 
By  Order  of 

BRIG.  GEN.  S.  A.  HURLBUT  : 

SMITH  D.   ATKINS, 

A.  A.  A.  Gen'l,  4th  Division. 


During  the  two  days  fighting  at  Shiloh,  the  regiment  lost 
one  hundred  and  ninety-six  men  killed,  wounded  and  missing, 

Prior  to  the  battle,  Col.  Davis  obtained  sufficient  transpor- 
tation for  the  regiment,  it  having  been  in  the  field  nearly 
two  months  without  the  means  of  transporting  rations  or 
baggage  except  what  was  carried  by  the  men. 

On  the  24th  of  April,  the  regiment  with  the  Brigade,  com- 
menced its  march  upon  Corinth,  Miss.  The  first  day  it 
marched  but  four  miles  and  went  into  camp,  from  which  it 
did  not  again  move  until  the  30th  of  April.  On  the  29th  of 
April  Major  Hazelton,  Paymaster  U.  S.  A.,  paid  the  regiment 
up  to  Februarjr  28th,  being  the  first  pay  that  it  had  received 
since  its  organization.  On  the  30th  of  April  the  old  Fourth 
Division  made  its  famous  march  through  Monterey,  Tenn. 
Although  the  distance  made  was  but  five  miles,  it  was  a  very 
hard  day's  march  through  such  a  rain  storm  and  over  such 
roads  as  will  never  be  forgotten.  The  teams  with  the  bag- 
gage and  supplies  could  not  get  through  until  the  following 
day.  The  regiment  went  into  camp  at  Pea  Ridge,  where  it 
remained  until  the  fourth  of  May,  when  it  again  advanced  a 
few  miles.  Skirmishing  with  the  enemy  now  commenced, 
they  disputing  our  way  almost  constantly.  On  the  eighth  of 


May  we  advanced  two  miles  toward  Corinth,  driving  the  en- 
•emy  and  capturing  some  prisoners  and  property.  On  the 
9th*  the  rebel  pickets  were  pressed  back  nearly  three  miles, 
and  on  the  10th  our  camp  was  taken  to  the  front.  Our  lines 
were  thus  advanced  from  day  to  day  with  more  or  less  skir- 
mishing until  the  14th  of  May,  when  the  work  of  throwing 
up  heavy  lines  of  eath works  was  commenced  in  good  earnest 
and  the  siege  of  Corinth  actually  began. 

On  the  21st  of  May  another  advance  was  made,  and  anoth- 
er line  of  works  thrown  up.  On  the  27th  the  46th  Illinois 
Infantry  was  sent  around  to  the  rear  of  Corinth  with  a  large 
force  of  Cavalry,  on  a  reconnoisance.  Near  Purdy  Church 
the  enemy  was  encountered  by  the  advance  guard  of  cavalry. 

The  46th  was  at  once  ordered  to  the  front,  one  company 
(u  A.")  was  deployed  as  skirmishers  and  the  remainder  formed 
into  line  as  fast  as  they  could  come  up.  The  enemy  soon  ap- 
peared upon  a  full  charge,  but  after  receiving  a  volly  from 
the  skirmishers,  turned  and  fled  in  great  confubion,  with  a 
loss  to  them  of  eight  killed  and  wounded  and  no  loss  to  us. 
The  object  of  the  expedition  having  been  accomplished,  we 
returned  to  camp  very  much  fatigued  by  our  long  and  rapid 
inarch.  The  particular  object  of  sending  one  small  regiment 
of  Infantry  on  a  scout  with  over  three  thousand  cavalry,  and 
when  the  enemy  was  encountered,  hurrying  the  Infantry  for- 
ward on  the  run  to  the  front,  could  never  be  fully  comprehended 
by  the  combined  wisdom  of  the  regiment. 

On  the  29th  our  lines  were  again  advanced  three  fourths  of 
a  mile,  and  a  line  of  heavy  works  thrown  up.  Early  on  the 
morning  of  the  30th,  it  was  discovered  that  the  enemy  had 
evacuated  Corinth  during  the  previous  day  and  night,  thus 
enabling  our  army  to  take  peaceable  possession  of  the  town. 

On  the  2d  of  June  we  broke  camp  and  marched  through 
Corinth,  and  went  into  camp  six  miles  west  from  the  town. 
On  the  9th  the  regiment  was  again  paid  by  Major  Phelps, 
for  March  and  April.  On  the  10th  marched  fifteen  miles  to 
Hatchie  River  and  constructed  a  bridge  across  the  same  on 
the  llth,  which  had  been  destroyed  by  the  rebels  to  retard 
our  pursuit.  Our  march  was  leisurely  continued  until  Sun- 
day, June  15th,  when  we  passed  through  Grand  Junction, 
Tenn.,  and  went  into  camp  at  Cold  Springs,  three  miles  south- 
west from  Grand  Junction.  Here  the  regiment  did  its  first 
drilling  since  the  battle  of  Shiloh,  its  music  consisting  of  one 
snare  and  one  base  drum.  On  the  24th  we  moved  our  camp 
four  miles  to  a  point  two  miles  west  of  La  Grange.  The 
place  of  our  encampment  here  is  known  by  the  regiment  as 
"  Collar  Bone  Hill." 

June  30th,  left  camp  at  2  p.  m.,  and  marched  twelve  miles 
to  old  "  Lamar  Church  "  in  the  direction  of  Holly  Springs, 
Miss.  July  1st,  marched  to  Cold  Water  Creek.  It  was  re- 
ported that  the  rebels  had  a  camp  at  this  place,  but  we  found 
no  enemy  and  went  into  camp.  On  the  3d  we  had  a  big 
scare,  which  brought  us  into  line  in  a  remarkably  short  space 


48 

of  time.  It  was  reported  that  the  enemy  were  advancing 
upon  us  in  large  force,  but  after  making  a  more  cool  and  ac- 
curate reconnoisance  it  proved  a  false  alarm,  being  one  ot  our 
own  regiments  coming  in  from  a  scout. 

On  the  5th  of  July,  we  commenced  our  return  march,  hav- 
ing accomplished  all  that  was  expected.  We  returned  by 
the  same  route  we  came  and  arrived  at  La  Grange  on  the 
6th.  The  heat  was  intense  on  our  return  march,  and  water 
poor  and  scarce,  causing  much  suffering.  A  number  of  men 
in  the  command  were  sun-struck. 

On  the  17th  of  July  we  struck  tents  and  commenced  our 
march  to  Memphis,  Tenn.,  going  to  Moscow  the  first  day,  to 
Lafayette  the  second,  to  Germantown  the  third,  to  Whites' 
Station  the  fourth,  and  on  the  fifth  day,  July  21st,  to  camp 
two  miles  South  of  Memphis,  on  the  east  bank  of  the  Missis- 
sippi River. 

The  distance  from  La  Grange  to  Memphis  is  fifty  miles, 
and  the  march  was  made  in  the  hottest  weather  and  over  the 
most  dusty  roads.  The  regiment  had  been  unable  to  procure 
new  clothes  for  a  long  time  and  its  appearance  when  enter- 
ing the  city  of  Memphis  called  forth  anything  but  compli- 
mentary remarks  as  to  its  dress.  Several  officers  had  to 
substitute  their  last  pair  of  drawers  for  pants.  Jew  clothing 
dealers  went  into  ecstacies  of  delight  as  they  saw  the  ragged 
column  pass  in  anticipation  of  large  sales  and  larger  profits. 

The  regiment  was  engaged  in  camp  and  picket  duty  until 
August  27th,  when  it  went  with  the  Brigade  on  a  scout  on 
the  "  Pigeon  Roost  "  road  running  southeast  from  Memphis 
to  Nonconah  Creek,  six  miles  from  Memphis,  and  encamped. 
On  the  29th  went  two  miles  further,  the  cavalry  going  in  ad- 
vance, capturing  some  twenty-five  prisoners.  Returned  to 
camp  on  the  31st,  having  accomplished  but  little. 

On  the  6th  of  September,  the  whole  Division  started  in  the 
direction  of  Brownsville,  Tenn.,  to  which  place  it  was  sup- 
posed we  were  ordered.  We  had  oi-ders  to  be  ready  to  march 
at  2,  a.  m.,  consequently  the  men  were  aroused  at  one  o'clock, 
tents  struck  and  wagons  loaded,  but  the  order  to  march  did 
not  come  until  four  o'clock  p.  m.  We  marched  through  the 
city  and  encamped  for  the  night  near  Wolf  river,  five  miles 
from  Memphis.  On  the  7th,  marched  sixteen  miles  through 
Raleigh  and  Union  Station  on  the  M.  &  C.  R.  R.  Kested  on 
the  8th.  September  9th,  marched  to  Big  Muddy  River, — a 
very  appropriate  name — where  the  bridge  had  been  destroyed 
by  the  rebels.  After  constructing  a  crossing  so  as  to  enable 
us  to  resume  our  march,  a  messenger  arrived  with  orders  for 
us  to  proceed  to  Bolivar,  Tenn.,  instead  of  Brownsville. 
Hence  on  the  llth  we  moved  by  the  way  of  Hampton  Sta- 
tion and  Danville,  and  on  the  12th  through  Whiteville  to 
Pleasant  Creek,  three  miles  northeast  of  Bolivar.  On  the 
14th  we  changed  camp,  passing  through  Bolivar  to  the  Hat- 
chie  river,  two  miles  north  of  town.  We  were  obliged  to 
change  our  camp  every  few  days  from  one  side,  of  the  town 


49 

to  the  other  until  the  24th  of  September.  On  the  27th  of 
September  all  the  troops  of  this  place  were  reviewed  by  Gen- 
erals McPherson,  Veatch  and  Lauman.  They  made  a  very 
fine  appearance. 

While  here  Colonel  John  A.  Davis  returned  to  the  reg- 
iment and  waf>  very  warmly  greeted.  He  had  been  absent 
since  the  battle  of  Shiloh,  suffering  from  a  severe  wound, 
which  still  troubled  him. 

On  the  4th  of  October  orders  were  received  to  proceed 
towards  Corinth  to  make  a  division  in  favor  of  our  force 
there,  which  had  been  attacked  by  Price  and  Van  Dora. 
When  near  Matamora  on  Hatchie  river,  a  large  force  of  reb- 
els were  encountered  and  vigorously  attacked  by  our  forces, 
soon  driving  them  across  the  river,  capturing  several  pieces 
of  artillery  and  a  large  number  of  prisoners.  The  part  taken 
by  the  46th  Illinois  in  this  engagement  is  fully  given  in  the 
following  report  :

HEADQUARTERS  46TH  ILLS.  VOL.  INFT'Y. 

BOLIVAR,  TENN.,  Oct.  9th,  1862. 
CAPTAIN  F.  W.  Fox, 

A.  A.  Gen'l  2nd  Brig.  ±th  Division. 

Captain.— At  eight  o'clock  on  the  morning  of  the  5th  inst., 
under  orders  from  Brig.  Gen.  Veatch,  the  46th  regiment  took 
a  position  on  the  right  of  the  2d  Brigade,  in  the  advance,  to 
support  Bolton's  Battery,  two  miles  west  of  the  Big  Hatchie. 
After  firing  shots  the  Battery  took  a  position  half  a  mile  in 
advance,  where  they  opened  a  galling  fire  upon  the  rebels, 
which  lasted  about  three-fourths  of  an  hour,  when  the  word 
"  forward  "  was  given.  The  men  all  moved  at  the  word  and 
soon  received  the  melancholy  intelligence  that  our  loved  and 
gallant  Col.  Davis  was  again  severely  wounded  by  a  canister 
shot.  When  I  took  command  and  announced  this,  the  reg- 
iment seemed  determined  to  avenge  their  loss,  and  soon  an 
opportunity  offered,  for  at  this  moment  the  rebels  opened 
their  first  volly  at  short  range,  which  was  received  with 
great  coolness  by  the  men  until  they  heard  the  command  to 
fire  which  they  did  and  charged,  driving  the  rebels  over  and 
from  their  batteries  to  the  opposite  bank  of  the  river.  Here 
the  enemy  made  a  stand,  and  confidently  expected  to  repulse 
our  force,  but  the  word  was  still  "  forward,"  and  on  we 
marched  at  double-quick,  forming  in  line  over  the  river. 
Here  Sergeant  JohnE.  Hershey,  color  bearer,  fell  wounded. 
Corpl.  Thomas  E.  Joiner,  of  company  u  G,"  true  to  duty,  bore 
both  colors  across  the  field  and  handed  one  to  Priv.  James 
Hobdey,  of  company  "I,"  who  done  it  honor  through  the 
day.  At  this  time  Captain  F.  W.  Fox,  of  General  Veatch's 
Staff,  took  the  front  and  called  the  46th  to  follow  him,  when 

4 


50 

the  regiment  charged  with  cheer  after  cheer,  until  the  field 
was  theirs.  In  the  last  line  formed,  about  four  o'clock,  p.  m., 
the  brave  and  generous  Lt.  Moses  11.  Thompson  fell  mortally 
wounded.  I  cannot  close  this  report  without  special  men- 
tion of  Assistant  Surgeon  Benj.  H.  Bradshaw.  who,  unassist- 
ed, took  the  wounded  from  amid  the  ranks,  doing  even  more 
than  his  duty  ;  also  the  officers  of  the  line,  who  were  all  at 
their  posts,  fearless  of  rebel  power,  and  if  honor  has  been 
won  it  is  duo  to  them  and  their  brave  men  alone.  Herewith 
,is  a  report  of  the  killed  and  wounded  of  my  command. 
Very  Respectfully,  Your  Ob't  Serv't, 

JOHN  J.  JONES, 
Lieutenant  Colonel  Commanding 


Brig.  Gen.  Veatch  in  his  report  of  the  battle  of  the  Hatchie, 
speaks  in  the  highest  terms  of  his  Brigade.  He  says : 
"  The  field  and  staff  officers  of  every  regiment  appeared  to 
"  do  all  that  could  be  done  to  render  victory  complete.  The 
"  line  officers,  so  far  as  their  conduct  came  within  my  notice, 
K  did  their  whole  duty,  and  the  men  moved  with  steadiness 
"  and  resolute  courage  not  easily  surpassed.  The  loss  in 
"  killed  and  wounded  embraces  many  valuable  officers.  Col. 
"  John  A.  Davis  of  the  46th  Illinois  infantry,  fell  severely 
"  wounded  early  in  the  action  while  gallantly  leading  his 
"  regiment  in  a  charge.  He  has  since  died  of  his  wounds. 
"  He  was  generous,  noble  and  brave,  and  will  be  regretted  by 
"  all  who  knew  him."

GENERAL  ORDERS,    ) 
No.  62.  j 

The  General  desires  to  congratulate  the  troops  of  his  com- 
mand on  the  brilliant  victory  of  the  battle  of  the  Hatchie. 
On  no  field  since  the  war  began  has  better  fighting  been 
done.  The  force  of  the  enemy  greatly  superior  in  numbers, 
were  posted  in  the  very  strongest  positions,  and  commanded 
by  those  veteran  Generals  Van  Dorn  and  Price.  You  met 
them,  you  fought  them,  you  drove  them,  you  defeated  and 
routed  them,  capturing  a  battery  and  hundreds  of  prisoners. 
You  compelled  them  to  seek  shelter  on  the  east  side  of  the 
Hatchie.  Here  the  1st  Baigade  came  to  your  support  and 
with  Hurlbut's  fighting  fourth  Division  united,  you  drove 
them  again  from  their  last  stronghold  and  forced  them  to  a 
hasty  retreat.  While  we  rejoice  in  victory  we  regret  the 
loss  of  many  brave  men.  Let  us  honor  the  memory  of  our 


51 

fallen  comrades,  and  transmit  to  their  friends  the  story  of  their 
noble  deeds.  The  wounded  who  survive  will  carry  their  bat- 
tle scars  which  will  speak  more  eloquently  for  their  bravery 
and  daring  than  words  can  do. 

A  battery  of  four  field  pieces  captured  by  this  brigade  has 
been  entrusted  to  your  care  by  the  Major  General  command- 
ing the  Division.  These  pieces,  manufactured  in  rebel  work- 
shops, will  be  made  to  do  service  for  the  Union  in  the  hands 
of  Bolton  and  Burnap. 

Officers  and  men  of  the  2d  Brigade !  You  have  the  con- 
fidence of  your  Generals,  and  the  respect  and  esteem  of  all 
loyal  citizens.  Let  your  future  good  conduct  maintain  the 
high  reputation  you  have  gained.  Remember  that  you 
belong  to  "  Hurlbut's  Fighting  Fourth  Division  ; "  that  what 
be  commands  you  will  obey;  what  he  orders  you  will  execute; 
where  he  leads  you  will  follow  with  full  confidence  of  honor 
and  victory. 

By  Order  of  Brig.  Gen.  JAMES  C  VEATCH  : 

F.  W.  Fox,  A.  A.  Gen'l. 


After  the  battle  the  regiment  returned  to  its  camp  at  Bol- 
ivar, Tenn.  Col.  John  A.  Davis  and  Lieutenant  Moses  R. 
Thompson  died  of  their  wounds  on  the  10th  of  October,  and 
their  remains  sent  home  for  burial.  Both  were  men  of  the 
highest  worth  and  standing  at  home.  Both  entered  the  ser- 
vice with  the  purest  motives,  and  both  received  their  death 
wouuds  while  bravely  and  nobly  fighting  at  their  posts. 
Their  memories  will  ever  be  kindly  cherished. 

On  the  3d  of  November,  the  regiment  with  the  Brigade, 
marched  to  La  Grange,  Tenn.,  via  Grand  Junction,  and  went 
into  the  old  camp  at  La  Grange,  where  we  remained  till  the 
28th  of  November,  nothing  noteworthy  occurring  excepting  a 
few  Grand  Reviews.  We  then  took  up  our  line  of  march  to 
Holly  Springs,  Miss.,  where  we  arrived  on  the  night  of  the 
29th.  November  30th  marched  south  toward  the  Tallehat- 
ehie  River,  and  went  into  camp  near  Waterford,  twelve  miles 
south  of  Holly  Springs.  The  enemy  abandoned  his  works 
on  the  Tallehatchie  and  retreated  towards  Oxford.  We  re- 
mained in  camp,  in  an  old  cornfield,  which  became  extremely 
muddy  during  the  heavy  rains,  until  the  9th  of  December, 
when  we  changed  our  camp  to  a  fine  wood  two  miles  south, 
where  it  was  almost  universally  supposed  we  should  remain 
for  the  winter  ;  hence,  on  the  10th  our  grounds  were  put  in 
splendid  condition,  tents  pitched  in  line,  chimneys  built  and 
our  camp  christened  "  Camp  Hall,"  when  suddenly  all  our 
plans  were  frustrated  by  an  order  to  be  ready  to  march  at 
seven  a.  m.,  the  next  day.  December  llth,  marched  twenty 
miles  to  Hurricane  Creek,  six  miles  from  Oxford,  and  the 
next  day  eleven  miles  beyond  Oxford  to  the  vicinity  of  Yon- 
eona  Station  on  the  Mississippi  Central  R.  R.,  where  we  re- 


52 

retained  until  December  22d,  when  we    marched  five  miles  to 
Taylor's  Station  on  the  same  road. 

Van  Dorn  having  captured  Holly  Springs  and  cut  off  our 
communication,  our  forces  marched  north  again  on  the  23dy 
through  Oxford  to  Hurricane  Creek,  a  distance  of  seventeea 
miles  and  arriving  at  noon.  On  the  24th  the  46th  Illinois 
and  33d  Wisconsin  Infantry,  in  command  of  Colonel  Moore^ 
left  Hurricane  Creek  in  charge  of  the  corps  train,  arriving 
safe  on  the  north  side  of  the  Tallehatchie  late  on  the  same 
night.  We  remained  in  this  camp  until  the  26th  of  Decem- 
ber, making  Christmas  as  merry  as  the  means  at  our  com- 
mand would  permit,  when  we  moved  our  camp  four  miles 
nearer  Holly  Springs,  between  Waterford  and  Wyatt  Sta^ 
tions  on  the  Mississippi  Central  Railroad. 

Here  the  new  year  of  1863  was  duly  inaugurated  with  a 
feast,  the  best  the  country  could  afford,  which  was  our  whole 
dependence,  as  Uncle  Sam's  commissary  had  ceased  to  honor 
requisitions.  The  feast  consisted  of  corn  in  all  the  varieties 
of  style  known  to  experienced  camp  cooks,  except  corn  in 
the  juice.  However,  the  New  Year's  Day  was  not  the  least 
happy  one. 

On  the  6th  of  January,  we  marched  to  Holly  Springs, 
where  we  remained  to  the  10th,  when  the  15th  and  46th  Ill- 
inois Infantry  were  ordered  to  escort  the  ammunition  train 
to  La  Grange  Tenn.,  at  which  place  we  arrived  late  on  the 
night  of  the  llth  of  January.  Our  progress  was  very  slow 
and  tedious  on  account  of  muddy  roads  and  emaciated  con- 
dition of  the  mules  attached  to  the  train. 

On  the  13th  of  January,  we  marched  to  Moscow,  Tenn., 
nine  miles  west  of  La  Grange.  Remained  at  Moscow  doing 
guard  duty  until  February  5th,  when  we  went  to  La  Fayette, 
Tenn.,  eight  miles  west;  The  garrison  at  Moscow  up  to  this 
time  consisted  of  the  1st  Brigade,  4th  Division,  and  the  46th 
and  76th  Illinois  Infantry  of  the  2d  Brigade,  and  two  bat- 
teries. After  re-joining  the  Brigade  at  La  Fayette  and  per- 
forming similar  duties  as  at  Moscow  until  the  9th  of  March, 
we  marched  via  Collierville  and  Germantown  to  Memphis,' 
Tenn.,  arriving  at  the  latter  place  on  the  12th.  We  went 
into  camp  on  the  northeast  side  of  the  city,  near  the  fair 
ground,  which  made  quite  an  extensive  as  well  as  beautiful 
drill  ground. 

On  the  21st  of  April  the  46th,  14th  Illinois  Infantry,  and 
5th  Ohio  Battery  were  sent  out  to  re-enforce  Colonel  Bryant 
of  the  12th  Wisconsin  Infantry,  who  had  gone  in  the  direc- 
tion of  Hernando,  Miss.,  with  a  Brigade  and  met  the  enemy 
in  force  near  Cold  Water.  He  then  moved  his  whole  force 
again  three  miles  south  of  Hernando  and  encamped  for  the 
night,  as  the  cavalry  had  reported  the  enemy  gone.  Colonel 
Bryant  had  captured  and  sent  to  Memphis  about  seventy 
prisoners  and  a  large  lot  of  mules  and  horses.  April  23d, 
commenced  our  return  march  to  Memphis,  where  we  arrived 
on  the  24th,  thoroughly  drenched  by  a  heavy  rain.  We  met 


53 

with  no  loss  and  the  troops  made  the  march  in  good  time 
and  in  fine  order.  We  remained  in  camp  at  Memphis  until 
the  13th  of  May,  when  \ve  embarked  on  the  Steamer  "  Clara 
Poe,"  and  left  the  same  evening  for  Vicksburg,  Miss.  Passed 
Helena  on  the  morning  of  the  14th  and  Napoleon  at  six 
o'clock  p.  m.,  same  day.  Private  Gottlieb  Vohmer,  "  C  "  Co. 
fell  overboard  during  the  night  and  was  drowned.  As  we 
passed  Games'  Landing,  Arkansas,  the  Steamer  "  Fort 
Wayne,"  with  the  76th  Illinois  Intantry  on  board,  was  fired 
into  by  guerillas  from  the  Arkansas,  shore.  Three  men 
were  wounded  and  the  boat  disabled  by  running  foul  of 
some  drift  wood,  breaking  the  wheel  and  rudder.  We  reached 
Young's  Point,  La.,  at  8  p.  m.,  May  15th.  Disembarked  on 
the  16th  and  went  into  camp  near  the  landing.  At  eleven 
o'clock  a.  m.,  on  the  18th,  we  marched  across  the  Point  to 
Bower's  Landing,  below  Vicksburg,  leaving  all  our  tents  and 
baggage  at  Sherman's  Landing.  On  the  next  day  a  portion 
of  the  Brigade  embarked  and  went  to  Grand  Gulf,  but  the 
46th  and  the  two  Batteries  belonging  to  the  Brigade  were 
obliged  to  await  the  return  of  the  transports  that  had  taken 
the  other  troops.  Before  their  return,  however,  orders  were 
received  by  us  to  return  at  once  to  Sherman's  Landing,  a8 
General  Grant  had  opened  communication  via  the  Yazoo 
Kiver  to  the  troops  in  the  rear  of  Vicksburg.  Arrived  at 
Sherman's  Landing  on  the  night  of  the  19th,  and  at  noon  on 
the  20th  embarked  on  the  Steamer  "  Luminary,"  and  pro- 
ceeded up  the  Yazoo  river  to  Chickasaw  Bayou.  Disembark- 
ed and  moved  three  miles  in  a  southeasterly  direction  across 
the  swamps  to  the  bluff. 

On  the  21st  of  May  the  balance  of  the  Brigade  joined  us 
and  proceeded  to  the  right  of  Gen.  Grant's  lines  about  the 
city.  We  were  at  once  ordered  to  Snyder's  Bluffs  on  the 
Tazoo  river,  ten  miles  from  Vicksburg.  Went  into  camp  at 
the  Bluffs  on  the  same  evening,  much  disappointed  that  we 
were  not  permitted  to  enter  the  line  of  attack.  The  object 
of  sending  us  to  this  place  was  to  watch  a  large  rebel  force 
aaid  to  be  advancing  to  form  a  junction  with  the  Vicksburg 
garrison. 

On  the  24th  of  May  we  marched  in  the  direction  of  Vicks- 
bnrg  on  the  Benton  road.  The  road  was  extremely  dry  and 
dusty  and  the  weather  very  warm,  making  it  a  very  hard 
march.  On  the  25th  we  marched  to  the  extreme  left  of  our 
lines  near  the  Mississippi  river,  below  Vicksburg,  and  relieved 
Gen.  McArthur's  Division.  The  regiment  was  detailed  for 
picket  duty,  and  during  the  night  one  vring  was  surrounded 
and  one  hundred  and  thirteen  officers  and  men  captured  by 
the  enemy.  The  particulars  of  the  capture  are  set  forth  in 
the  following  reports,  viz  :

HEADQUARTERS  46m  ILL.  VOL.  INFANTRY. 

IN  THE  FIELD,  June  7th,  1863. 

S.    P.    BOURQUIN, 

A.  A.  A.  General  : 

Lieutenant  : — In  compliance  with  orders  from  Division 
Headquarters,  with  reference  to  a  capture  of  a  portion  of  the 
46th  Illinois  Infantry,  I  have  the  honor  to  report  that  on  the 
afternoon  of  the  25th  of  May,  the  regiment  was  detailed  to 
relieve  the  63d  Illinois  Infantry  on  picket  duty.  At  4  o'clock 
p.  m.,  the  regiment  reported  at  Brigade  Headquarters,  but 
owing  to  unavoidable  difficulties  the  regiment  was  not  fully 
posted  until  after  7  o'clock  p.  m.  Five  componies — a  por- 
tion of  which  wer«  captured — were  posted  by  Lieut.  CoL 
John  J.  Jones  of  my  regiment,  under  the  guidance  of  the 
Major  of  the  63d  Illinois  Infantry,  and  upon  the  same  ground 
in  the  same  manner  that  the  63d  was  posted  at  the  time  we 
relieved  them,  which  line  extended  from  and  near  a  cotton 
gin  on  the  Warrenton  road  westward  to  a  swamp  which  we 
supposed  and  had  been  informed  was  impassable.  The  other 
portion  of  the  regiment  was  posted  from  the  Warrenton  road 
eastward  to  the  pickets  of  the  1st  Brigade  by  myself,  but 
owing  to  the  lateness  of  the  hour  when  I  arrived  at  the  cen- 
ter of  our  lines,  and  having  implicit  confidence  in  the  ability 
and  skill  of  Lieut.  Col.  Jones  and  other  officers  on  that  por- 
tion of  the  line,  I  deemed  it  entirely  unnecessary  to  visit  it- 
The  firsc  alarm  occurred  at  about  half  past  nine  o'clock  p.  m. 
I  heard  several  sharp  volleys  of  musketry.  I  immediately 
strengthened  the  several  posts  nearest  the  point  of  alarm, 
and  proceeded  in  person  to  the  point  from  whence  the  alarm 
came,  to  discover,  if  possible,  the  cause.  I  had  gone  but  a 
short  distance  when  I  discovered  a  body  of  troops  moving 
rapidly  along  a  skirt  of  timber  towards  the  river,  which 
proved  to  be  rebel  soldiers.  Owing  to  the  extended  line  of 
pickets,  I  had  only  men  enough  to  hold  that  portion  of  the 
line  east  of  the  Warrenton  road.  Unable  to  hear  anything 
trom  the  pickets  on  the  west  side  of  the  road,  and  fearing 
some  disaster  had  befallen  them,  I  immediately  deployed 
skirmishers  along  the  Warrenton  road,  which  afforded  them 
a  full  view  of  the  ground  between  it  and  the  river  bluff,  in 
order  to  guard  against  a  flank  movement  of  the  enemy  with 
a  view  to  cut  us  off  and  capture  us.  At  the  earliest  oppor- 
tunity, I  notified  the  Brigade  commanders,  Col.  Hall  and 
Col.  McGowan,  commanding  a  Brigade  in  Gen.  McArthur'ft 
Division,  who  both  rendered  me  prompt  assistance.  For 
more  full  and  complete  particulars,  I  refer  you  to  the  reports 
of  officers  of  my  command  enclosed  herewith. 

As  to  the  degree  of  vigilance  exercised  by  the  officers  and 
men  of  my  command,  I  can  only  speak  of  those  under  my 
own  control,  which  met  with  my  entire  approbation,  and 
from  the  known  character  of  the  officers  in  charge  of  the 
captured  portion  of  the  regiment,  with  possibly  one  excep- 


55 

tion,  which  I  have  not    yet  sufficient  information  to    report  - 
I  believe  the  disaster  to  be    more  attributable  to    an  injudic- 
ious posting  of  the  pickets  than  to  a  lack  of  vigilance. 
Very  Respectfully,  Your  Ob't  Sv't. 

B.  DORNBLASER,  Col.  Comd'g  Reg't. 


The  remainder  of  the  regiment  took  a  very  active  part  in 
the  siege  of  Vicksburg,  from  the  25th  of  May  until  its  sur- 
render on  the  4th  of  July,  doing  picket  duty  both  in  the 
front  and  rear,  digging  trenches,  &c.,  &c. 

The  4th  of  July  will  be  kept  in  sacred  remembrance  by  all 
who  took  part  in  the  famous  siege  of  Vicksburg. 

On  the  afternoon  of  July  4th,  orders  were  received  to  keep 
our  men  in  camp  and  prepare  for  a  march.  Next  morning 
the  Division  left  camp  and  proceeded  to  Clear  Creek,  twelve 
miles  east  of  Vicksburg  on  the  Vicksburg  and  Jackson  rail- 
road. The  day  was  extremely  warm  and  the  roads  very 
dusty.  July  6th,  marched  through  Edward's  Station  to  near 
Bolton's  Station,  twenty  miles.  We  marched  part  of  the 
night  until  the  rainstorm  made  the  roads  impassable,  whichr 
with  the  extreme  darkness,  rendered  further  progress  out  of 
the  question.  The  only  shelter  we  had  from  the  driving 
storm  was  a  rail  fence,  which  afforded  both  warmth  and 
shelter.  July  7th,  marched  three  miles  and  encamped  until 
dusk,  then  resumed  our  march  in  the  rear  of  the  corps  train 
until  twelve  o'clock  and  bivouacked  until  morning.  July 
8th,  marched  to  Clinton,  and  on  the  9th  the  Brigade  was  de- 
tailed to  guard  the  train  to  Jackson,  Miss.  Marched  six 
miles  and  parked  the  train  on  Dickson's  plantation,  where 
we  remained  m  charge  of  the  train  until  the  afternoon  of  the 
12th,  when  we  were  ordered  to  proceed  to  Jackson  and  re- 
port for  orders  to  Gen.  A.  P.  Hovey,  Gen.  Lauman  having 
been  relieved  of  the  command  of  the  4th  Division  after  mak- 
ing his  disasterous  charge  upon  the  enemies  works. 

The  46th  Illinois  Infantry  was  posted  on  the  extreme  right 
of  our  line,  near  Pearl  river  south  of  Jackson.  Earthworks 
were  thrown  up  in  front  of  the  regiment  and  a  battery  placed 
in  position  to  command  both  front  and  flank.  Our  4th  Div- 
ision was  temporarily  assigned  to  the  12th  Division  13th 
Army  Corps,  commanded  by  Gen.  A.  P.  Hovey.  The  siege 
was  actively  carried  on  from  the  12th  to  the  16th  of  July, 
when  the  enemy  evacuated  the  place.  The  regiment  did  its 
full  share  of  the  work.

€OL.  HALL'S  REPORT  OF   THE  SECOND  BRIGADE. 

HEADQUARTERS  4xH  BRIGADE  12TH  DIVISION. 

JACKSON,  Miss.,  JULY,  1863. 
CAPTAIN  PHILIPS  : 

A.  A.  Gren'L,  12th  Division,  13th  Army  Corps. 

Captain  : — I  have  the  honor  to  report  to  you  the  part  taken 
by  my  command,  consisting  of  the  14th,  15th,  46th  and  76th 
Illinois  Infantry,  Co.  "  K,"  2d  Illinois  Artillery,  and  4th  Ohio 
Battery,  before  the  fortified  city  of  Jackson. 

Late  on  the  p.  m.  of  the  12th  instant,  whilst  encamped  at 
Dickson's  plantation  five  miles  west  of  Jackson,  I  received 
orders  from  Major  General  E.  O.  C.  Ord,  commanding  13th 
Army  Corps,  directing  me  to  report  to  Brig.  Gen.  A.  P.  Ho- 
vey,  commanding  12th  Division  13th  Army  Corps,  for  orders, 
which  order  I  obeyed  as  speedily  as  possible,  arriving  at  Gen. 
Hovey's  Headquarters  at  nine  o'clock  p.  m.  At  4  o'clock  a. 
m.,  I  put  the  column  in  motion  and  took  a  position  on  a 
ridge  on  the  east  side  of  the  New  Orleans  and  Jackson  rail- 
road, which  position  we  immediately  proceeded  to  entrench 
and  put  ia  the  best  possible  state  of  defense. 

On  the  rooming  of  the  15th,  I  was  ordered  by  Gen.  Hovey 
to  send  seonts  from  my  right  east  to  Pearl  Kiver,  which  duty 
was  performed  by  2d  Lieut.  Eeed  and  six  men  from  company 
•"  I,"  15th  Illinois  Infantry,  in  a  very  able  and  satisfactory 
manner,  finding  the  enemy  in  force  on  the  east  side,  with  one 
•company  on  the  west  side  as  pickets.  After  making  known 
tto  Gen.  Hovey  the  disposition  of  the  enemy's  force,  I  was 
ordered  to  take  the  15th,  46th  and  76th  Illinois  Infantry  and 
make  a  rapid  move  on  the  enemy  at  the  river.  The  move 
was  made  with  great  rapidity,  but  not  sufficiently  so  as  to 
overtake  the  enemy.  We  reached  the  river  just  in  time  to 
«ee  the  last  of  their  pickets  pass  out  of  sight  on  the  opposite 
foank. 

On  the  morning  of  the  16th  it  became  apparent  to  some  of 
the  officers  of  my  command  that  the  enemy  was  evacuating 
Jackson,  which  fact  I  at  once  communicated  to  Gen.  Hovey, 
it  being  the  first  intimation  he  had  of  it. 

The  spirit  manifested  by  both  officers  and  men  during  the 
short  siege  was  highly  commendable,  obeying  with  alacrity 
every  order,  arid  executing  the  work  assigned  them  with 
zeal  and  enthusiasm.  To  Col.  B.  Dornblaser  and  Capt.  R.  P. 
McKnight,  A.  A.  G.  of  this  Brigade,  I  am  particularly  indebt- 
ed for  valuable  information  obtained  by  reconoitering  the 
enemy's  works. 

Respectfully  your  Obedient  Servant, 

CYRUS  HALL. 
Colonel  Commanding  Brigade. 


On  the  night  of  the  16th  of  July,  the    rebels  evacuated  tne 


67 

town  and  retreated  rapidly  toward  Meridian,  leaving  US  to 
take  quiet  possession  on  the  17th.  After  pursuing  the  en- 
emy and  destroying  the  railroad  and  other  public  property 
in  and  about  Jackson,  the  troops  commenced  their  return 
march  on  the  21st,  via  Eaymond  and  Big  Black  Bridge  to 
Vicksburg,  where  we  arrived  at  one  p.  m.  on  the  23d,  hav- 
ing marched  over  fifty  miles  in  two  days  and  a  half,  through 
terrible  heat  and  dust. 

The  Division  was  again  detached  from  the  12th  Division, 
and  placed  in  command  of  Brig.  Gen.  M.  M.  Crocker,  and 
soon  after  transferred  to  the  17th  Army  Corps  by  General 
Orders  No.  214,  Department  Headquarters.  August  llth, 
1863,  embarked  on  Steamer  ';  Kocket,"  and  left  on  the  morn- 
ing of  the  12th  for  Natchez,  Miss.,  where  we  arrived  the  next 
morning.  The  regiment  at  once  disembarked  and  went  into 
camp  one  and  a  halt  miles  from  the  city,  northeast,  where  it 
remained  doing  camp  and  garrison  duty  until  September  1st, 
when  it  started  out  with  the  Division  on  an  expedition  into 
Louisiana.  The  following  is  a  report  of  the  same  :

CAPTAIN  E.  P.  MCKNIGHT, 

A.  A.  Genl  2d  Brig.  4th  Div.  YIth  Army  Corps. 
Captain  : — I  have  the  honor  to  report  that  the  regiment 
left  this  camp  at.  12  m.,  September  1st,  and  marched  with  the 
Brigade,  in  the  place  assigned  it  by  your  order,  to  the  Mis- 
sissippi river  at  Natchez.  Crossed  over  in  transports  and  en- 
camped for  the  night  at  Vidalia,  La.  Early  on  th«  2d  it  took 
up  its  line  of  march  at  the  Head  of  the  Brigade,  and  marched 
sixteen  miles  to  the  west  side  of  Crosb  Bayou,  going  into 
camp  at  sundown.  On  the  3d,  marched  to  Trinity  on  the 
Washita  river  twelve  miles,  arriving  there  a  little  past  noon. 
By  your  order  the  46th  and  76th  Illinois  Infantry,  both  un- 
der my  command,  were  left  at  this  place  to  guard  the  trains 
and  ferry,  whilst  the  balance  of  the  force  proceeded  to  Har- 
risonburg,  La.  Upon  your  return  on  th*  5th,  the  regiment 
was  ordered  to  escort  a  part  of  the  artillery  and  Brigade 
train  to  Cross  Bayou,  ferry  the  same  across  and  select  the 
camp  for  the  night  for  the  Brigade ;  all  of  which  was  safely 
accomplished  by  eight  o'clock  p.  m. 

On  the  6th  the  regiment  marched  with  the  Brigade  to  Vi- 
dalia, crossed  the  river  and  arrived  in  this  camp  at  five 
o'clock  p.  m.  The  march  was  made  without  los  or  incident 
worthy  of  special  note.  The  officers  and  men  of  my  com- 
mand acquitted  themselves  as  good  soldiers  throughout. 
I  am,  Captain,  very  Respectfully, 

B.  DORNBLASER, 
Col.  Commanding  Regiment.

The  regiment  immediately  resumed  its  usual  routine  of 
camp  and  picket  duty,  interspersed  with  prize  inspections 
and  drills,  together  with  occassional  reviews  by  our  command- 
ing General  and  distinguished  military  visitors,  which  made 
our  stay  at  the  beautiful  city  of  Natchez  both  pleasant  and 
profitable. 

On  the  10th  of  November  the  regiment  embarked  for 
Vicksburg,  where  we  arrived  on  the  evening  of  the  llth ;  dis- 
embarked and  bivouacked  on  the  levee  for  the  night  and  the 
next  day  located  our  camp  near  the  Vicksburg  cemetery. 
We  had  to  occupy  old  camps,  covered  with  all  kinds  of  filth 
and  rubbish,  and  only  sufficiently  large  to  accomodate  a  half 
a  regiment  corntortably.  However,  our  stay  in  this  camp, 
fortunately,  was  not  of  long  duration. 

On  the  28th  of  November  we  moved  camp  to  Camp  Cow- 
an, near  Clear  Creek,  nine  miles  from  Vicksburg.  Here  the 
construction  of  comfortable  log  barracks  was  immediately 
commenced  and  soon  completed,  making  it  one  of  the  most 
pleasant  and  comfortable  camps  it  has  ever  been  our  good 
fortune  to  occupy. 

About  the  time  our  barracks  were  completed  General  Or- 
ders No.  191,  A.  G.  O  ,  Washington,  D.  C.,  relating  to  re-en- 
listing Veteran  Volunteers  was  received.  Vigerous  measures 
were  at  once  adopted  by  the  officers  of  the  regiment  to  re- 
enlist  the  same  as  a  veteran  regiment.  The  enlisted  men 
came  forward  with  great  unanimity  and  promptness.  On 
the  4th  of  January,  1864,  three-fourths  of  the  regiment  was 
mustered  into  the  service  of  the  United  States  for  three 
years  or  during  the  war,  by  Lieut.  C.  W.  G.  Hyde,  A.  C.  M., 
4th  Division,  17th  Army  Corps,  and  on  the  tenth  of  January 
Gen.  McPherson  ordered  the  regiment  to  pi'oceed  to  Vicks- 
burg and  embark  on  the  Steamer  "  Planet,"  then  awaiting  us. 

On  the  evening  of  the  llth  the  regiment  was  paid  by  Ma- 
jor Stewart  on  board  of  the  boat,  and  the  next  day  at  nine 
and  a  half  o'clock  a.  m.,  the  regiment,  numbering  twenty  of- 
ficers and  three  hundred  and  thirty-four  enlisted  men,  left 
Vicksburg  for  the  North  to  enjoy  a  thirty  days'  furlough  and 
to  fill  up  the  regiment  if  possible. 

The  river  as  far  up  as  Napoleon,  Arkansas/was  f-ill  of  float- 
ing ice,  which  greatly  impeded  our  progress.  We  passed 
Napoleon  at  six  o'clock  a.  m.  of  the  15th,  Helena  at  two 
o'clock  and  fifteen  minutes  on  the  16th,  arriving  at  Memphis 
on  the  same  evening  at  nine  o'clock.  Left  Memphis  on  the 
17th  at  six  o'clock  p.  m.,  and  arrived  at  Cairo,  Illinois,  on  the 
20th  at  11  o'clock  a.  m.  Col.  Dornblaser  at  once  telegraphed 
to  Col.  Allen  C.  Fuller,  Adjutant  General,  at  Springfield,  Ill- 
inois, who  ordered  us  to  proceed  direct  to  Freeport,  Illinois, 
as  our  place  of  rendezvous. 

By  reason  of  want  of  railroad' transportation,  the  regiment 
was  obliged  to  remain  on  the  boat  until  noon  of  the  22d, 
when  it  proceeded  by  special  train  on  the  Illinois  Central  R. 
R.  to  Freeport,  Illinois,  where  it  arrived  at  half  past  twelve 


59 

o'clock  p.  m.  on  the  23d  of  January.  The  citizens  of  Free- 
port  and  vicinity  gave  the  regiment  a  most  hearty  and  en- 
thusiastic reception,  which  will  ever  be  remembered  grate- 
fully by  every  officer  and  soldier  in  the  46th. 

After  marching  through  some  of  the  principal  streets  of 
the  city,  and  listening  to  some  eloquent  welcoming  speeches, 
the  regiment  stacked  arms  in  the  streets  and  entered  Plym- 
outh Hall,  where  a  most  sumptuous  repast  awaited  them, 
prepared  by  the  fair  ladies  of  Freeport  and  vicinity.  When 
the  boys  appetites  were  appeased  they  again  fell  into  line 
and  marched  to  the  barracks  on  the  fair  ground  one  mile 
west  of  the  city. 

Adjutant  Woodbury  had  gone  direct  to  Springfield  from 
Cairo  to  procure  the  furloughs  for  the  men.  He  arrived  at 
Freeport  on  the  26th  and  on  the  27th  the  whole  regiment 
was  furloughed  for  thirty  days,  when  it  would  again  assem- 
ble at  Camp  Freeport. 

Recruiting  stations  were  established  and  recruiting  officers 
appointed  in  Lee,  Ogle,  Whiteside  and  Stephenson  Counties, 
and  the  work  of  filling  up  the  regiment  vigorously  commenced 
with  flattering  prospects  of  success. 

The  regiment  has  thus  far  made  a  name  for  itself  of  which 
it  feels  proud,  and  the  noble  State  in  which  it  in  part  rep- 
resents has  never  been  dishonored  by  it.  When  it  again  re- 
turns to  the  field  with  full  ranks,  it  will  doubtless  add  still 
brighter  lustre  to  its  name,  and  continue  as  heretofore  to  be 
an  honor  to  the  State. 


PART   SECOND. 


63 


From  the  27th  of  January  till  the  1st  of  March,  tho  officers 
and  men  of  the  regiment  vied  with  each  other  in  laudable  ef- 
forts to  fill  up  the  same.  The  nine  old  companies  were  most- 
ly filled  up,  and  Capt.  Crane  of  Freeport,  Illinois,  had  re- 
cruited and  organized  a  new  company  ("  D,")  for  the  reg- 
iment by  authority  of  the  War  Department. 

On  the  2d  day  of  March  the  regiment  left  Freeport  with 
an  aggregate  of  987  men,  and  proceeded  to  Cairo,  Illinois,  by 
rail,  thence  to  Vicksburg,  Miss.,  by  boat;  thence  to  Camp 
Hebron,  ten  miles  east  from  Vicksburg,  and  re-joined  the  2d 
Brigade  4th  Division,  17th  Army  Corps.  From  March  10th 
until  April  5th,  the  regiment  was  vigorously  drilled  and  fitted 
for  active  service  in  the  field.  On  the  latter  date  the  Brig- 
ade marched  to  Big  Black  Bridge,  twelve  miles  east  from 
Vicksburg,  and  reported  to  Brig.  Gen.  E.  S.  Dennis,  com- 
manding. April  25th  the  regiment  moved  by  rail  to  Vicks- 
burg, and  encamped  near  Battery  Hansom,  northeast  of  the 
city,  doing  garrison  duty.  May  4th  we  started  on  an  expe- 
dition to  Benton  and  Yazoo  City,  Miss.,  commanded  by  Brig. 
Gen.  John  McArthur,  and  returned  to  camp  at  Vicksburg  on 
the  21st  of  May.. 


REPORT  OF  THE  EXPEDITION. 

HKADQ'RS  IST  BRIGADE  YAZOO  EXPEDITION, 

VICKSBURG,  Miss,,  May  22d,  1864. 
CAPTAIN  W.  F.  RANDALL: 

Assistant  Adjutant  General. 

Captain : — I  have  the  honor  to  submit  the  following  report 
of  the  part  taken  by  this  Brigade  in  tho  Yazoo  expedition : 

At  five  o'clock  a.  m.  of  the  4th  inst.,  the  1st  Brigade,  con- 
sisting of  the  46th  Illinois  Infantry,  Lieut.  Col.  John  J.  Jones 
commanding,  and  the  76th  Illinois  Infantry,  Col.  Samuel  T. 
Busey  commanding,  left  camp  and  proceeded  via  Jackson 
road  to  Hebron.  Mechanicsville  and  Benton,  which  we  reached 
on  the  7th.  The  enemy  seemed  disposed  to  dispute  our  pos- 
session of  the  place.  The  1st  Brigade  marching  in  the  rear 
was  ordered  up,  leaving  two  companies  with  the  train,  and 
formed  by  your  order  in  a  field  east  of  the  town  and  in  the 
rear  of  the  124th  Illinois  Infantry  of  the  2d  Brigade.  The 
enemy,  however,  soon  fled  before  our  advance  and  left  our 
troops  in  quiet  possession  of  the  place. 

On  the  morning  of  the  8th  General  McArthur  went  to 
Yazoo  city  to  communicate  with  General  Slocum  at  Vicks- 
burg, leaving  me  in  command  during  his  absence.  At  about 


64 

two  o'clock  p.  m.  of  the  9th,  a  scout  reported  the  enemy  ad- 
vancing in  large  force  on  the  Lexington  road,  i  at  once 
formed  my  Brigade  and  Boltons  Battery  on  that  road  and 
requested  Col.  Coats  of  the  2d  Brigade  to  form  iton  the  Can- 
ton road,  which  was  promptly  done.  Major  Mumford  with 
his  5th  Illinois  Cavalry  dismounted,  passed  around  my  left, 
deployed  as  skirmishers  and  drove  the  enemy  across  to  the 
old  Lexington  road,  from  which  a  few  well  directed  shots 
from  Bolton's  Battery  drove  them  pell  mell  into  the  timber 
beyond  the  field.  Major  Cook  of  the  3d  U.  S.  Cavalry,  (col- 
ored) with  a  portion  of  his  command,  also  drove  to  the  shel- 
ter of  the  woods  a  small  force  of  the  enemy  who  were  ad- 
vancing via  Pickett's  plantation  towards  the  right  of  my 
Brigade.  After  posting  a  strong  picket,  I  ordered  the  troops 
to  camp. 

On  the  morning  of  the  12th,  I  was  ordered  by  General 
JlcArthur  to  remain  at  Benton  to  guard  the  approaches  by 
the  Lexington  road  with  the  1st  Brigade  and  one  section  of 
Bolton's  Battery,  whilst  he  with  the  other  troops  went  to 
Moore's  Ferry,  on  the  Big  Black,  via  the  Canton  road,  on  a 
reconnoisance,  returning  the  same  day.  At  five  o'clock  a.  m, 
on  the  13th,  the  expedition  started  for  Vaughan's  Station  on 
the  Mississippi  Central  Kailroad,  the  1st  Brigade  in  the  ad- 
vance. The  cavalry  advance  encountered  the  enemy  at 
Luce's  plantation,  five  miles  southeast  from  Benton.  I  or- 
dered the  76th  Illinois  forward  to  support  a  section  of  artil- 
lery commanded  by  Lieut.  Nichols,  who,  together  with  a  line 
of  skirmishers  from  the  76th  Illinois  Infantry,  drove  the  en- 
emy from  their  position.  The  column  then  moved  forward 
in  its  regular  order  of  march  along  the  road  about  one  and  a 
half  miles,  when  the  enemy  was  again  found  posted  in  a 
strong  position  with  three  pieces  of  artillery.  I  at  once 
pushed  my  Brigade  forward  to  an  open  field,  forming  the 
76th  on  the  left  and  the  46th  Illinois  Infantry  on  the  right  of 
the  road,  throwing  forward  two  companies  each  as  skirmish- 
ers, while  at  the  same  time  Lieut.  Nichols,  with  a  section  of 
artillery  posted  on  the  right  of  the  road  near  the  timber, 
opened  a  vigorous  and  well  directed  fire  upon  the  rebels'  bat- 
tery, which  was  soon  silenced  and  compelled  to  retreat.  I 
then  moved  forward  in  line  of  battle  with  skirmishers  well 
advanced — expecting  to  encounter  the  enemy  at  any  mo- 
ment— fully  a  mile  to  the  plantation  houses  where  I  halted 
to  await  orders.  The  General  commanding,  finding  the  en- 
emy gone,  permitted  the  troops  to  rest  and  refresh  them- 
selves after  their  weary  march. 

After  a  halt  of  an  hour  and  a  half,  the  column  again  moved 
forward  to  within  two  miles  of  Vaughan's  Station  and  en- 
camped for  the  night,  the  enemy  making  but  a  feeble  resist- 
ance to  our  advance.  On  the  14th  we  moved  via  Decenville 
to  Benton,  and  on  the  15th  to  Yazoo  City,  where  we  remain- 
ed until  the  morning  of  the  18th,  when  we  proceeded  via 
Liverpool,  Sartatia  and  Haine's  Bluffs  to  camp  at  Vicksburg, 


65 

where  we  arrived  at  ten  o'clock  a.  m.,  having  inarched   over 
two  hundred  miles. 

The  only  casualty  I  have  to  report  in  my  command,  is  that 
of  Sergeant  Eells,  company  "  D,"  46th  Illinois  Infantry,  who 
was  killed  on  the  morning  of  the  14th  while  acting  as  a 
scout,  tor  which  he  was  well  suited,  and  in  which  capacity 
he  had  rendered  much  valuable  service. 

Although  the  march  was  a  long  one  and  rendered  wear- 
isome by  the  heat  and  dust,  but  very  few  complaints  were 
heard,  and  whenever  a  fight  was  expected  every  man  was 
found  in  his  place  ready  and  eager  for  the  fray. 

The  officers  ot  this  command,  including    my  personal  staff, 
are  entitled  to  great  praise  for  the  able  and  prompt  discharge 
of  every  duty  devolving  upon  them. 
I  have  the  honor  to  be,  Sir, 

Very  Respectfully,  j'our  Obe't  Serv't, 

B.  DORNBLASER, 
Colonel  Commandrn«:  Brigade. 


The  regiment  remained  quietly  in  camp,  drilling  and  pep- 
forming  picket  and  camp  duty  until  the  1st  of  July,  when  it 
went  out  with  another  expedition,  commanded  by  Major 
General  Slocum. 


REPORT  OF  THE  JACKSON  EXPEDITION. 

HEADQUARTERS  2.vc  BRIG.  4in  Div.,  ITxii  A.  O., 

VICKSBURG,  Miss.,  July  13,  1865. 
CAPT.  W.  E.  KUHN. 

A.  A.  A.  G-en'l,  1st  Div.,  nth  A.  C. 

Captain  : — I  have  the  honor  to  submit  the  following  report 
of  the  part  taken  by  this  Brigade  in  the  late  expedition  to 
Jackson,  Miiss.,  and  return. 

In  compliance  with  orders  from  Brig.  Gen.  E.  S.  Dennis, 
commanding  1st  Division,  the  Brigade  consisting  of  the  46ih 
Illinois  Infantry,  Lieutenant  Col.  Jones  commanding,  and 
the  76th  Illinois  Infantry,  Col.  Samuel  T.  Busey  command- 
ing, left  camp  at  3  A.  M.  on  1st  instant,  and  proceeded  to  Big 
Black  Bridge,  where  we  had  to  await  supplies  and  the  build- 
ing of  a  pontoon  bridge  across  Big  Black.  Left  Big  Black 
on  the  morning  of  the  third,  and  reached  Clinton  on  the  4th 
inst.  at  noon,  meeting  with  but  little  opposition  from  the 
enemy.  During  the  afternoon  quite  a  large  force  of  rebels 
took  a  position  about  one  and  a  half  miles  east  of  Clinton, 
on  the  Jackson  road,  and  made  several  sallies  on  the  pickets. 

Early  on  the  morning  of  the  5th  inst.,  the  enemy  was 
encountered  by  the  advance,  arid  driven  back  to  within  three 

5 


6(5 

and  a  half  miles  of  Juckson,  when  they  made  ti  stand,  using 
eevoral  pieces  of  artillery  with  great  skill  and  accuracy. 
The  76th  and  five  companies  of  the  llth  Illinois  Infantry 
guarded  the  train.  Col.  Coatcs  moved  his  Brigade  by  a  eir- 
cutous  route  to  the  left  to  gain  the  enemies  flank.  At  the 
-same  time,  by  Gen.  Sloeum's  order,  1  moved  the  46th  and 
four  pieces  of  artillery  commanded  by  Lieut.  Moore  through 
si,  thick  belt  of  timber,  on  the  left  of  the  Jackson  road, 
thereby  gaining  a  commanding  position,  and  by  a  few  well 
directed  shots  from  the  Battery,  drove  what  was  left  of  the 
<enemy,  from  the  ground.  I  advanced  with  the  force  at  my 
xjommand  and  occupied  the  rebel  position  without  further 
opposition.  After  resting  several  hours  to  enable  the  other 
troops  to  come  up,  the  Brigade  marched  into  Jackson  in 
splendid  order  and  encamped  on  the  south  side  of  the  city. 

At  four  P.  M.  of  the  6th,  the  troops  left  Jackson  on  the 
same  road  they  came ;  the  cavalry  in  advance  followed  by 
this  Brigade.-  Near  the  Junction  of  the  Clinton  and  Canton 
<roads,  three  miles  from  Jackson,  and  near  where  the  enemy 
was  posted  the  day  before,  they  were  discovered  advancing 
"in  heavy  force,  evidently  with  the  intention  of  gaining  a 
position  to  prevent  us  leaving  by  this  route.  Major  Mumford 
with  his  cavalry  attacked  them  with  great  spirit,  and  held 
them  in  check  until  this  Brigade  could  be  brought  up  to  his 
support.  Forming  the  46th  Illinois  Infantry  on  the  right  of 
the  Canton  road,  and  the  76th  Illinois  Infantry  on  the  left, 
with  Lieut.  Nichols'  section  of  Artillery  in  the  center,  1 
advanced  under  a  heavy  fire  about  a  half  a  mile.  Here  Lt. 
Nichols  posted  his  section,  supported  by  the  76th  and  opened 
a  vigorous  fire  upon  the  enemy  ;  while  the  46th  moved  for- 
ward and  took  a  position  on  a  hill  farther  in  advance,  and 
within  short  range  of  the  enemy's  line.  A  brisk  fire  was 
kept  up  on  both  sides  until  darkness  closed  the  work.  During 
the  engagement  Capt.  Clingman  of  A  Co.,  46th  Illinois 
Infantry,  was  severely  wounded  through  the  left  arm. 
Lieut.  Moore  made  repeated  attempts  to  plant  his  section  of 
Artillery  in  advance  near  the  46th,  but  found  every  promi- 
nent point  so  completely  commanded  by  the  sharp-shooters, 
that  he  was  compelled  reluctantly  to  withdraw.  After  post- 
ing a  strong  picket,  I  ordered  the  Brigade  back  to  a  less 
exposed  position  and  encamped  for  the  night. 

Next  morning  at  four  o'clock,  by  order  of  Major  Gen. 
Slocum  I  moved  the  Brigade  across  a  field  in  a  Northwesterly 
direction  to  take  possession  of  a  house  held  by  the  enemy  on 
the  previous  evening,  to  enable  our  train  to  pass  out  on  the 
Clinton  road.  The  leading  Regiment,  the  76th  Illinois,  hall 
advanced  but  a  short  distance  beyond  our  position  of  the 
previous  evening  when  it  was  brought  to  a  stand  by  a  heavy 
force  of  the  enemy  strongly  posted  in  a  ditch  dehind  a  hedge, 
from  whence  they  poured  into  our  ranks  a  murderous  fire. 
Finding  that  the  enemy's  front  extended  beyond  either  flank, 
I  formed  the  46th  on  the  right  of  the  76th  and  advanced  a 


67 

dine  of  skirmishers  along  my  whole  front.  In  this  position 
with  Lieut.  Moore's  section  of  Artillery  in  rear  of  the  76th 
Illinois  Infantry,  the  Brigade  kept  the  enemy  fully  engaged 
over  two  hours,  until  the  train  had  safely  passed. 

The  8th  Illinois  Infantry,  posted  a  short  distance  on  the 
left  of  this  Brigade  received  orders  and  had  moved  out  to 
follow  the  train  before  1  had  received  a  similar  order,  which 
enabled  the  enemy  to  throw  a  large  force  on  our  left.  The 
76th  moved  off  by  the  left  flank  under  shelter  of  a  rail  fence 
which  at  the  same  time  concealed  the  enemy.  With  great 
presence  of  mind,  Lieut.  Col.  C.  C.  Jones  of  the  76th  Illinois 
Infantry  ordered  his  men  to  fire  on  them  as  soon  as  their 
position  was  discovered,  and  drove  them  back  in  confusion. 
The  46th  changed  its  front  and  charged  across  the  field  under 
a  heavy  fire  of  artillery  and  musketry  to  the  shelter  of  the 
woods,  and  then  marched  out  upon  the  road  to  the  next  hill, 
where  they  were  again  vigorously  shelled  by  the  enemy. 
The  76th  after  repulsing  the  enemy  moved  directly  to  the 
road  exposed  to  heavy  fire,  and  soon  after  joined  the  Brigade. 

The  column  moved  forward  with  but  little  further  oppo- 
sition, until  within  about  two  miles  of  Clinton,  where  the 
ene*ny  charged  our  rear  and  were  repulsed  with  great  loss, 
by  the  llth  Illinois  Infantry,  commanded  by  Capt.  Vore  and 
Lieut.  More's  section  of  Artillery.  The  46th  was  ordered  to 
support  the  llth,  but  reached  the  ground  only  in  time  to  fire 
a  vollej'-  after  the  retreating  foe.  The  46th  Illinois  then 
relieved  the  llth  as  rear  guard,  which  position  it  held  alter- 
nately with  the  76th  and  8th  Illinois  Infantry  during  the  day. 
The  enemy  were  seen  several  times  during  the  day  drawn  up 
in  line,  but  they  evidently  thought  "  discretion  the  better 
part  of  valor,'  and  wisely  kept  out  of  range. 

We  arrived  in  camp  at  Vicksburg  on  the  9th  without  fur- 
ther annoyance. 

It  is  with  pride  and  pleasure  that  I  refer  to  the  conduct  of 
the  officers  and  soldiers  of  my  command,  many  of  whom 
were  for  the  first  time  under  fire.  Not  one  left  the  ranks  or 
flinched  from  duty  during  the  engagement,  unless  compelled 
to  do  so  from  wounds  or  exhaustion.  It  is  enough  to  say  of 
them  that  every  man  did  his  whole  duty.  The  field  and 
iine  officers  were  ail  at  their  posts  and  did  their  duty  so  well 
that  a  few  cannot  be  mentioned  without  doing  manifest  in- 
jury to  the  others.  • 

To  Lieut.  Col.  Sheets  and  his  noble  regiment,  the  8th  Illi- 
nois Infantry,  I  am  under  great  obligations  for  relieving  my 
regiments  as  rear  guards,  after  they  had  become  so  completely 
exhausted  from  long  continued  fighting  and  marching  as  to 
be  almost  unable  to  proceed  further.  Lieuts.  Moore  and 
Nichols  of  Bolton's  Battery,  are  deserving  of  much  credit  for 
the  able  manner  in  which  they  handled  their  respectixe  sec- 
tions while  with  this  Brigade. 

Of  my  personal  staff,  Lieuts.  Woodbury,  Arnold,  Hughes 
and  Seizicks,  I  cannot  speak  in  too  high  terms  of  pi-aise. 


Prompt  in  the  discharge  of  every  duty,  fearless  of  danger, 
they  communicated  every  order  with  such  coolness  and  pre- 
cision that  they  could  not  fail  to  be  understood. 

The  lisc  of  casualties  in  this  Brigade   has  been    forwarded. 
Very  Eespectfully  your  Obe't  Servt, 

B.  DOKNBLASER, 
Colonel  Commanding  Brigade, 


The  casualties  in  the  regiment  were  as  follows,  viz  :  Killed, 
three;  wounded,  thirty-six;  captured,  one  :  missing,  three; 
total  loss,  forty-five.  Our  wounded  received  but  little  care 
until  our  arrival  at  Big  Black.  Here  their  wounds  were 
carefully  dressed  and  every  attention  possible  given  to  them. 
During  the  night  of  the  8th  of  July  the  sick  and  wounded, 
were  removed  to  the  hospital  at  Vicksburg,  and  on  the  9th 
the  troops  marched  to  their  camps  in  the  city.  . 

The  wounded  of  the  command  that  fell  into  the  hands  of 
the  enemy  were  very  kindly  treated,  so  much  so  that  it  was 
spoken  of  in  the  highest  terms  of  praise  by  the  wounded 
men.  and  as  soon  as  they  were  able  an  amicable  exchange  of 
prisoners  was  appointed.  The  ceremoney  of  exchange  took 
place  just  outside  the  old  fortifications  of  the  city  and  was 
the  ocaasion  of  much  good  feeling  among  the  prisoners. 

July  21st  Maj.  Gen-  B'air's  General  Order  No.  5  was  re- 
ceived, organizing  the  1st  Division,  17th  Army  Corps,  the  2d 
Brigade  of  which  was  composed  of  the  llth,  46th  and  76th 
regiments  of  Illinois  Infantry,  and  Col.  Dornblaser  of  the 
46th  placed  in  command. 

July  29th  the  46th,  together  with  the  76th  Illinois  Infantry, 
embarked  on  board  the  Steamer  "Adams  "and  proceeded 
down  the  Mississippi  river  to  Morganza  Bend,  La.  The  Div- 
ision encamped  on  the  river  bank  and  constructed  shades 
,and  arbors  for  shelter  from  the  burning  sun.  Drill  and  picket 
was  the  order,  the  latter  of  which  was  a  very  nece  sary  as 
well  as  a  rather  delicate  duty  at  times,  from  the  fact  that  the 
enemy  made  frequent  raids  upon  our  picket  lines  from  their 
camps  on  the  Atchafalaya. 

On  the  night  of  the  8th  of  August,  Lieut.  Col.  Jones  and 
two  hundred  men  of  the  46th  went  out  on  a  scout  and. cap- 
tured twelve  gay  and  festive  rebels  who.  not  dreaming  of 
danger,  fell  asleep  and  into  the  hands  of  the  bluo  coats,  and 
were  brought  into  camp  on  the  Oth. 

On  the  13th  of  August,  General  Canby's  order  No.  93  was 
promulgated,  assigning  the  regiment  to  the  1st  Brigade,  2d 
Division,  19th  Army  Corps.  The  Brigade  to  consist  of  the 
8th,  llth,  46th  and  76th  regiments  of  Illinois  infantry,  and 
the  7th  and  30th  Missouri  Infantry,  and  to  be  commanded 
by  Col.  B.  Dornblaser  of  the  46th  Illinois  Infantry,  General 
Dennis  to  command  the  Division,  and  General  Reynolds  the 
Corps. 


69 

Lieut.  I.  A.  Arnold  and  Lieut.  H.  II.  Woodbury  were 
placed  on  the  Brigade  staff,  the  former  as  A.  A.  Q.  M.  and 
the  latter  A.  A.  A.  Gen. 

The  Division  was  ordered  to  embark  on  transports  on  the 
23d  of  August  and  proceed  to  Port  Hudson,  La,,  where  it  ar- 
rived on  the  morning  of  the  24th.  See  report. 


HEADQUARTERS  IST  BRIG.  2o  Div.,  19m  A.  C. 

MORGANZA,  LA.,  August  29th,  1864. 
CAPTAIN  W.  E.  KUIIN, 

A.  A.  A.  Gen.  2d  Div.,  ISth  Army  Corps. 

Captain  : — I  have  the  honor  to  report  that  in  compliance 
with  orders,  this  Brigade  embarked  on  Steamers  on  the 
night  of  the  23d  iust.,  and  proceeded  to  Port  Hudson,  La., 
where  it  disembarked.  On  the  evening  of  the  24th  instant, 
at  five  o'clock  p.  m.,  the  column  moved  out  in  the  direction 
of  Clinton,  La.,  the  1st  Brigade  in  advance,  supplied  with 
five  days  rations  and  one  ammunition  wagon  to  each  reg- 
iment. The  command  marched  all  night,  only  resting  at  in- 
tervals to  enable  the  column  to  close  up,  and  arrived  at  Clin- 
ton at  noon  of  the  25th.  Small  scouting  parties  of  the  en- 
emy only  were  encountered,  who  fled  at  our  approach. 

The  troops  rested  until  four  o'clock  p.  m.  of  the  26th,  when 
the  return  march  was  commenced,  arriving  at  Port  Hudson 
on  the  morning  of  the  28th  and  Morganza  on  the  morning  of 
the  29th. 

Port  Hudson  is  distant    twenty -five  miles    from  here,   and 

.from  Port  Hudson  to  Clinton  the   same.     The   march    was  a 

•very  hard  one  and  the  losses  sustained    by  the  Brigade  were 

•caused  principally  by  men  becoming   exhausted    by  the  way 

and  being  captured  by  the  enemy,  who   followed  in  our  rear. 

The  following  are  the  losses  of    the  Brigade  :     llth    Illinois, 

three  missing;  46th  Illinois,  two    missing;  76th  Illinois,  one 

missing  ;  30th  Missouri,  two  missing. 

Respectfully  your  Obed't  Serv't. 

B.  BORNBLASER, 
Colonel  Commanding  Brigade. 


Orders  were  received  September  2d  to  embark  early  on 
•the  morning  of  the  3d,  with  all  the  camp  and  garrison  equip- 
page  of  the  command.  Left  Morgan/a  at  four  a.  m.  on  ihe 
4th ;  proceeded  up  the  river  and  arrived  at  the  mouth  of 
White  River,  Ark.,  Avithout  incident  of  note,  on  the  8th  of 
September,  and  went  into  camp  on  a  large  cotton  plantation. 
The  ground  was  speedily  cleared  of  the  luxuriant  cotton 
plant  and  the  camp  fitted  up  in  splendid  style. 

On  the  13th  of  September  Chaplain  Lewis  started  with  the 


70 

non-veterans  of  A,  B  and  C,  whose  term  of  service  had  ex- 
pired. They  were  to  proceed  to  Springfiield,  Illinois,  to  be 
mustered  out  of  service. 

The  only  incident  worthy  of  note  occurring  during  the 
stay  of  the  regiment  at  the  Mouth  of  White  River,  was  a 
tremendous  storm  of  wind  and  rain  on  the  night  of  the  28th, 
which  leveled  every  tent  and  flooded  the  camp  with  water. 
The  sudden  waiting  up  of  over  two  thousand  men  to  find 
their  frail  shelters  swept  away  and  themselves  drenched  to 
the  skin  by  the  pouring  rain,  caused  a  conglomeration  of 
the  most  hideous  and  ludricious  sounds  ever  heard  or  made 
by  man.  While  some  were  making  frantic  yet  vain  efforts- 
to  hold  up  their  tents  against  the  storm,  others — and  many 
officers  of  both  high  and  low  degree — could  be  seen  by  the 
vivid  lightning's  glare,  "  scudding  under  bare  poles  "  from 
one  demolished  shelter  to  another,  doomed  to  a  similar  fate. 
A  company  of  men  in  one  portion  of  the  camp  would  hurrah 
for  McClellan  which  would  be  answered  from  another  portion 
by  the  shout  of  a  whole  regiment  for  Lincoln.  A  cheer  for 
Valandigham  or  Jeff  Davis  would  be  answered  by  a  whole 
Brigade  with  curses  and  groans.  Slang  phrases,  such  as 
•'  here's  your  mule,"  &c.,  &c.,  were  the  common  utterances  of 
those  in  busy  search  of  lost  clothing,  tents  and  baggage. 
The  incidents  of  the  night  furnished  a  rich  theme  for  ludic- 
rous comment  and  laughter,  which  served  to  while  away 
many  tedious  hours  in  camp. 

A  short  distance  from  camp  were  numerous  ponds  or  lakes 
containing  large  quantities  of  fine  fish,  the  catching  of  which 
furnished  much  sport.  The  modus  operandi  of  catching  them 
was  novel.  Twenty  or  thirty  soldiers  would  divest  them- 
selves of  their  clothing,  arm  themselves  with  clubs  of  about 
four  feet  in  length,  form  a  skirmish  line  across  one  end  of 
the  lake  and  advance,  beating  the  water  and  thus  drive  the 
fish  before  them  into  the  shallow  water  at  the  other  end  of 
the  lake,  then  woe  to  the  unlucky  fish  that  would  show  his 
head,  his  fate  would  be  sure  to  be  sealed  by  a  blow  from  a 
club.  In  the  excitement  of  the  chase  many  a  blow  aimed  at 
the  head  of  a  fish  would  descend  on  the  head  or  back  of  some 
unlucky  biped  of  an  entirely  different  species.  Such  accidents 
would  call  forth  peals  of  laughter  and  the  injured  party 
would  pass  it  off  in  the  most  philosophical  good  humor. 

On  the  6th  of  October  the  1st  Brigade,  3d  Division,  19th 
Army  Corps,  and  the  46th  Illinois  Infantry,  all  under  the 
command  of  Lieut.  Col.  Jones  of  the  46th,  were  ordered  to 
embark,  to  proceed  to  Duvall's  Bluff,  Arkansas.  They  left 
the  mouth  of  White  River  at  sunrise,  October  7th,  and  ar- 
rived at  Duvall's  Bluff  on  the  9th.  The  regiment  went  into 
camp  south  of  the  Landing  and  commenced  building  log. 
barracks  which  they  soon  completed.  The  regiment  was 
highly  complimented  by  General  C.  C.  Andrews  commanding 
Post,  for  its  skill  and  energy  in  building  such  neat  and  com- 
fortable barracks  in  so  short  a  time.  At  this  place  the  regr 


71 

iment  also  did  much  fatigue  duty  on  the  fortifications,  which' 
were  extensive  and  incomplete.  The  wet  weather  and  pe- 
culiar character  of  the  soil  made  their  duty  very  arduous. 
As  an  offset  for  this,  however,  the  large  number  of  deer  on 
the  prairies  near  by  afforded  profitable  amusement  for  the 
sportsmen  of  the  command,  who  brought  ift  five  or  six  fine 
deer  every  day  they  went  out,  and  one  day  fourteen  were 
killed  and  brought  into  the  regiment. 

The  fine  barracks  built  by  the  regiment  had  to  be  given 
up,  as  orders  were  received  on  the  27th  of  November  to  em- 
bark on  transports  for  Memphis,  Tenn.  Left  Duvall's  Bluff 
at  one  o'clock  p.  m.,  of  the  28th,  and  arrived  at  the  mouth  of 
White  Eiver  at  three  o'clock,  p.  m.  of  the  29th,  and  Memphis 
on  the  1st  of  December  at  six  o'clock,  p.  m. 

While  coming  down  White  River,  Arkansas,  on  the  28th  a 
party  of  guerillas  fired  on  the  boat  and  wounded  three  men, 
none  severely.  The  fire  was  quickly  returned  by  the  reg- 
iment. On  the  same  night  Thomas  Walbridge,  a  Private  of 
company  "  K,"  fell  overboard  and  was  drowned.  His  body 
could  not  be  recovered. 

At  Memphis  the  regiment  went  into  camp  on  the  Pigeon 
Roost  road,  just  east  of  the  city.  While  at  this  camp  all  the 
non-veteran  soldiers  of  H,  E.  I.  K  and  F,  were  mustered  ouc 
of  the  service,  together  with  Major  McCracken,  Captain 
Hughes,  Stewart,  Wakefield,  Reitzell,  and  Lieutenants  Terry, 
Shaw  and  McKibben. 

The  command  suffered  here  from  cold  by  reason  of  shelter, 
tents  and  scarcity  of  timber  and  fuel.  The  tents  were  no 
protection  against  cold,  and  the  want  of  timber  or  lumber 
prevented  the  men  from  building  comfortable  huts  or  barracks. 

On  the  12th  of  December  orders  from  General  Canby  were 
received  re-organizing  the  troops  of  the  19th  army  corps  into 
the  Reserve  Corps,  Military  Division  of  West  Mississippi. 
The  2d  Brigade,  which  was  composed  of  the  8th,  llth,  46th 
and  76th  regiments  of  Illinois  Infantry,  and  the  23d  Wiscon- 
sin and  30th  Missouri  regiments  Infantry,  was  commanded: 
by  Brig.  Gen.  E.  S.  Dennis. 

Early  on  the  morning  of  the  21st  of  December  an  expedi- 
tion started  out,  commanded  by  Brig.  Gen.  Lawler,  going  in- 
the  direction  of  La  Grange,  Tenn.  The  8th,  llth  and  46th 
Illinois  Infantry,  commanded  by  Colonel  Dornblaser  of  the 
46th,  was  accompanied  by  two  other  small  brigades  and- 
marched  the  first  day  to  Germantown,  second  to  Moscow, 
and  third  to  Wolf  River  near  Moscow,  Tenn.,  where  we  re- 
mained until  early  on  the  morning  of  the  26th  of  December, 
when  the  return  march  to  Memphis  was  commenced.  Col. 
Kent's  Brigade  marched  to  Collierville  and  encamped.  Col. 
Dornblaser's  Brigade  encamped  three  miles  west  of  Colliers- 
ville  on  the  Bailey  plantation,  and  Col.  Green's  Brigade  at 
Germantown  and  White's  Station.  This  disposition  of  troops 
was  made  with  a  view  to  guard  the  railroad,  which  had  been 
repaired  from  Memphis  to  Colliersville,  against  the  numerous 


72 

bands  of  guerilla  parties  prowling  through  this  section  of  the 
country. 

On  the  31st  of  December  the  troops  were  all  brought  to 
Memphis  by  rail  and  ordered  to  be  ready  to  embark  without 
delay. 

The  46th,  with  the  exception  of  four  companies  that  wen- 
put  aboard  the  "  Autocrat,"  embarked  on  the  Steamer 
;•  Marble  City,"  on  the  morning  of  the  2d  of  January,  1865. 
and  proceeded  to  Kenncrville,  La.,  twenty-five  miles  from 
Now  Orleans  by  water,  and  disembarked.  The  camp  at  this 
place  was  protected  from  overflow  by  the  levee,  but  the 
rainy  season  made  it  exceedingly  muddy.  It  was  a  com- 
plete "stick-in-the-mud"  camp. 

The  regiment  marched  to  Lakeport  on  Lake  Pontchar- 
train  on  the  4th  of  February,  and  embarked  on  the  Steamers 
'•Planter"  and  "Alabama"  on  the  7th  and  8th  of  February, 
and  proceeded  to  Fort  Gaines,  Dauphin  Island,  Ala.,  at  which 
place  we  arrived  and  went  into  camp  on  the  9th  and  10th  of 
February.  While  the  camp  at  Kennerville,  La.,  was  pure 
«md,  at  this  place  it  was  pure  white  sand.  However,  the 
discomforts  of  the  camp  were  fully  neutralized  by  the  pleas- 
ure and  profit  afforded  catching  and  eating  oysters,  which 
*vers  found  in  great  abundance  in  the  bay  close  by. 

Col.  Dornblaser  having  been  home  on  a  leave  of  absence, 
feturiied  to  the  regiment  on  the  first  of  March,  bringing  with 
him  one  hundred  and  sixty  recruits,  filling  up  the  regiment 
to  nine  hundred  and  twenty-two  men,  aggregate  strength. 
This  made  the  46th  one  of  the  largest  regiments  in  the  com- 
mand. 

.  While  here  the  Reserve  Corps  was  re-organized  and  called 
the  13ih  army  coips,  to  be  commanded  by  Major  General 
Gordon  Granger.  The  8th,  llth  and  46th  Illinois  Infantry, 
comprised  the  2d  Brigade  of  the  1st  Division,  and  Gen.  E.  S. 
Dennis  assigned  to  the  command  of  the  same.  Brig.  Gen. 
James  C.  Veateh  commanded  the  Division. 

On  the  17th  of  March  all  the  surplus  baggage,  camp  and 
garrison  equlppage  was  turned  in  to  the  Post  Quartermaster 
.and  the  troops  fitted  for  an  active  land  campaign.  The  Brig- 
ado  was  transferred  to  the  opposite  tide  of  Mobile  Bay  the 
6ame  evening,  and  commenced  its  march  on  Mobile  early  on 
.the  morning  of  the  18th.  On  the  20th  we  reached  Oyster 
Bay  where  Gen.  Benton's  Division  of  the  13th  Army  Corps 
were  constructing  corduroy  causeways  through  the  swamps. 
Our  Division  was  detailed  until  the  morning  of  the  22d  of 
March  to  enable  Benton's  Division  to  get  ahead.  On  the 
<aight  of  the  20th  a  tremendous  rainstorm  caused  the  tem- 
porary bridges  built  to  be  washed  away,  making  it  necessary 
to  reconstruct  them.  The  work  was  arduous  and  disagree- 
able, but  was  accomplished  without  unnecessary  grumbling. 
JLn  consequence  of  the  great  difficulty  of  getting  the  train 
.through  the  deep  sand  and  mud  and  over  the  rough  cord- 
aroys,  the  column  did  not  reach  the  vicinity  of  Spanish  Fort. 


73 

tho  first  rebel  stronghold  on  our  line  of  march — until  the 
evening  of  the  21st  of  March.  Early  on  tho  morning  of  the 
22d  tho  Fort  was  invested,  much  to  the  surprise  of  the  reb- 
els, as  they  did  not  deem  it  possible  for  us  to  advance  so 
rapidly  over  the  obstacles  we  had  to  encounter. 

After  the  Fort  was  invested,  the  46th  was  ordered  to  guard 
the  approaches  from  the  rear,  as  it  was  reported  that  the 
enemy  had  a  large  force  of  cavalry  in  that  direction  threat- 
ening an  attack. 

On  the  31st  of  March  the  1st  Division,  13th  Army  Corps, 
took  charge  of  a  supply  train  to  Gen.  Steele's  command  near 
Blakely,  Ala.  The  46th  was  left  in  charge  of  the  baggage 
train  of  the  Division  until  the  4th  of  April,  when  it  moved 
with  the  train  and  joined  the  Division  near  Sibley's  Mills, 
oast  of  Blakely. 

During  the  siege  of  Blakely  tho  1st  Division,  13th  Army 
Corps  occupied  a  front  line  of  about  three-fourths  of  a  mile  in 
extent  between  Andrews  Division  of  the  13th  Army  Corps 
and  Garrard's  Division  of  the  16th  Army  Corps,  which  re- 
quired but  from  two  to  three  regiments  to  fill  the  space,  con- 
sequently tho  troops  in  front  would  be  daily  relieved  by  oth- 
ers. On  the  evening  of  the  5th  of  April,  the  46th  Illinois 
Infantry  was  ordered  to  relieve  the  8th  Illinois  Infantry  in 
the  trenches,  and  advance  the  line  during  the  night  and  con- 
struct a  new  line  of  works.  Companies  G  and  B  were  do- 
ployed  as  skirmishers  and  sent  forward  early  in  tDe  evening 
to  establish  a  line  twenty-five  yards  in  advance  on  the  right, 
and  one  hundred  on  the  left.  The  position  was  gained  with 
but  little  opposition  and  the  work  of  throwing  up  earthworks 
vigorously  commenced.  The  rebel  sharpshooters  constantly 
kept  stimulating  our  working  parties  to  renewed  efforts  by 
sending  minnie  balls  whistling  over  every  portion  of  the  line 
at  intervals  uncomfortably  short.  At  about  two  o'clock  a. 
m.  of  the  6th  of  April,  the  enemy  made  a  vigorous  attack 
upon  our  lines  with  a  view  to  dislodge  our  working  parties, 
but  were  handsomely  repulsed.  In  this  action  Private  An- 
drew Hess  of  company  '•  B "  was  mortally  wounded  by  a 
fragment  of  a  shell.  This  was  our  only  casualty,  owing  to 
the  completeness  of  our  defenses. 

On  the  8th  of  April,  Spanish  Fort  was  captured,  and  on 
the  evening  of  the  9th  Fort  Blakely  was  charged  and  taken 
also.  In  this  action  the  8th  Illinois  as  skirmishers,  followed 
by  the  llth  and  46th  Illinois  as  supports  were  amont  the  first 
to  reach  the  Fort,  but  were  prevented  from  following  up  and 
capturing  their  share  of  prisoners  by  reason  of  an  order  to 
withdraw  to  the  outside  of  the  works  as  s'oon  as  they  had  en- 
tered and  formed  inside  of  the  same,  thus  enabling  Garrard's 
Division  to  sweep  down  to  the  Bay  in  front  of  our  Brigade 
and  capture  the  prisoners.  After  securing  these,  and  the 
arms,  cannon  and  trophies,  the  Brigade  marched  to  its  camp. 

April  10th  the  Division  marched  four  miles  in  the  direction 
of  the  Alabama  River  and  made  preparations  for  a  march 


.74 

into  the  interior,  but  on  the  llth  of  April  news  of  the  probable 
evacuation  of  Mobile  was  received,  in  consequence  of  which  the 
troops  were  marched  back  to  Stark's  Landing  during  the 
night,  and  embarked  at  daylight  on  the  morning  of  the  12th 
of  April.  At  nine  o'clock  a.  m.,  the  fleet  sailed  from  the 
landing  in  the  direction  of  Mobile,  and  at  eleven  o'clock  a,  m. 
arrived  at  the  Shell  Road  Landing,  five  miles  below  the  city. 
The  city  authorities  surrendered  the  place  and  its  defenses 
to  the  Army  and  Navy  of  the  United  States  on  the  12th  of 
April,  and  the  city  was  occupied  by  the  troops  on  the  same 
day. 

The  regiment  went  into  camp  in  the  western  limits  of  the 
city,  where  a  comfortable  camp  was  soon  fitted  up. 

On  the  16th  of  April  the  glorious  tidings  of  Lee's  surren- 
der to  General  Grant  was  confirmed  and  greeted  with  shout* 
of  joy  as  the  forerunner  of  the  speedy  overthrow  of  the  en- 
tire rebellion.  But  the  echoing  sounds  of  exultation  had  not 
yet  died  away,  when  on  the  20th  the  horrible  news  of  the 
assassination  of  President  Lincoln  burst  upon  us  like  a  clap 
of  thunder  from  a  clear  sky,  causing  our  rejoicing  to  be 
turned  to  bitter  grief. 

April  21st  the  llth  and  46th  regiments  Illinois  Infantry 
marched  to  Whistler  seven  miles  out  and  returned,  in  conse- 
quence of  a  report  that  a  rebel  force  was  threatening  the 
place,  which  proved  untrue. 

The  time  of  the  Regiment  was  principally  taken  up  -with 
drill  and  inspections  while  in  this  camp,  and  never  did  it 
present  a  more  formidable  and  soldierly  appearance  since  its 
first  appearance,  and  as  such  received  many  compliments. 

On  the  eighth  of  May,  Gen.  Dick  Taylor  surrendered  his 
army  to  Gen.  Canby,  who  at  once  sent  commissioners  to 
Meridian,  Columbus,  Jackson  and  other  prominent  points  to 
parole  the  men  and  receive  the  public  property. 

Major  Chase,  Paymaster  U.  S.  A.,  paid  the  Regiment  on 
the  llth  and  12th  of  May,  up  to  February  28,  1865.  On  the 
morning  of  the  13th  the  Regiment  left  Mobile  on  the  cars 
for  Meridian,  Miss.,  where  it  arrived  on  the  14th.  Part  of 
the  Regiment  was  at  once  sent  to  Columbus,  Macon,  Gaines- 
ville, Gainesville  Junction  and  Lauderdale  Springs,  Miss.,  to 
take  charge  of  public  property.  The  Regiment  was  relieved 
by  troops  from  the  16th  A.  C.  and  Gen.  Grierson's  command, 
and  ordered  to  Mobile,  where  it  arrived  in  detachments  from 
the  18th  until  the  21st  of  May,  and  occupied  its  old  camp. 
Col.  Dornblascr  of  the  46th  was  again  assigned  to  the  com- 
mand of  the  2d  Brigade  on  the  24th  of  May,  and  on  the  27th 
the  1st  and  2d  Brigades  of  the  Division  embarked  on  steam- 
ers for  New  Orleans.  The  46th  went  aboard  the  "  J.  H. 
Groesbeck,"  and  arrived  without  accident  to  Hickox  Land- 
ing at  the  Lake  end  and  of  the  New  Orleans  Shell  Road  on 
the  28th  of  May,  and  at  once  disembarked  and  marched  to 
the  race  track  near  the  "  Halfway  House,"  where  it  went 
into  camp.  On  the  30th  of  May  the  troops  embarked  at 


75 

New  Orleans  to  proceed  to  Alexandria,  Natchitoch.es  and 
Shreveport  on  lied  River,  to  receive  the  surrender  of  Kirby 
Smith's  Trans-Mississippi  rebel  army.  Landed  at  Shreve- 
port, La.,  on  the  8th  of  June,  after  one  of  the  most  tedious 
and  disagreeable  voyages  imaginable.  The  crowded  condi- 
tion of  the  boats  and  extreme  heat  of  the  weather,  caused 
much  discomfort  and  sickness. 

June  19th  the  Regiment  embarked  on  steamer  Peerless 
and  proceeded  to  Grand  Ecore,  La.,  to  relieve  the  21st  Iowa 
Infantry  on  duty  at  Natchitoches,  Salubrity  Springs  and 
Grand  Ecore.  Gen.  Taylor's  army  was  encamped  at  Salu- 
brity Springs,  prior  to  his  march  to  the  Rio  Grande  in  1846. 
The  Regiment  performed  garrison  duty  here  until  November 
20th,  when  it  marched  via  Pleasant  Hill  and  Mansfield,  La., 
to  Shreveport.  Major  Clingman  with  companies  E  and  G 
of  the  46th  Illinois,  and  Co.  A  of  the  19th  Pa.  Cavalry  went 
to  Marshall,  Texas,  to  relieve  the  8th  Illinois  Infantry  on 
duty  there. 

The  garrison  of  Shreveport  consisted  of  eight  companies 
of  the  46th  Illinois,  the  80th  IT.  S.  Colored  Infantry  and 
company  C,  19th  Pa.  Cavalry.  On  the  27th  of  December, 
Gen.  Canby's  special  order  No.  140  was  received  ordering 
the  Regiment  to  proceed  to  Baton  Rouge,  La.,  and  Spring- 
field, Illinois,  for  muster  out  and  final  discharge.  The  low 
stage  of  water  in  Red  River  made  it  impossible  for  the  whole 
Regiment  to  embark  on  one  boat,  hence  it  left  Shreveport  on 
various  steamers  from  the  1st  to  the  4th  of  January,  1866. 
and  arrived  at  Baton  Rouge  on  the  10th  of  January.  As 
soon  as  the  Regiment  was  comfortably  situated  in  camp  the 
whole  available  clerical  force  of  the  same  was  put  to  work 
making  up  muster  out  rolls.  On  the  20th  of  January  the 
Regiment  was  mustered  out  and  at  once  embarked  on 
steamer  Lady  Gay  for  Cairo,  arriving  at  that  place  on  the 
25th,  thence  proceeded  by  Railroad  to  Camp  Butler,  Illinois, 
where  it  arrived  on  the  evening  of  the  27th.  Through  the 
usual  energy  of  the  officers  of  the  Regiment,  and  the  extreme 
kindness  and  courtesy  of  Major  Cleghorn,  A.  A.  G.,  Col. 
Bridgman  and  Major  Grover,  Paymasters,  the  Regiment 
received  its  final  pay  and  discharge  on  the  1st  of  February, 
after  a  stay  in  camp  of  only  five  days.  An  extra  train  was 
in  readiness  to  convey  the  men  to  Decatur,  Illinois,  in  time 
for  the  train  North  on  the  Central  Road,  of  which  they 
eagerly  took  advantage  in  order  to  reach  their  several  homes 
with  the  least  delay. 

Thus  closes  the  Record  of  the  46th  Illinois  Veteran  Volun- 
teer Infantry.  Its  organization  has  been  kept  up  nearly  four 
and  a  half  years.  Over  seventeen  hundred  men  have  been 
members  of  it,  and  its  line  of  march  and  travel  has  extended 
over  ten  thousand  miles. 

While  with  thankful  hearts  we  acknowledge  the  preserva- 
tion of  our  health  and  lives  to  enable  us  to  return  to  and 
enjoy  our  homes  and  friends,  let  us  ever  hold  in  kind  remem- 


76 

brance  those  of  our  companions  who  lost  their  lives  in  the 
great  contest,  and  whose  graves  can  be  found  from  the  Ohio 
to  the  Gulf. 

As  our  record  as  a  Kegiment  has  been  bright  and  honor- 
able, let  each  and  all  resolve  to  perpetuate  that  record  by 
individual  virtue  and  honesty  as  citizens,  that  none  may 
descend  to  the  grave  "  unhonored  and  unsung." 

To  our  friends  at  home,  whose  loving  eyes  were  ever  fol- 
lowing us,  whose  prayers  constantly  ascended  to  the  throne 
of  God  for  our  welfare,  and  who  stood  ready  with  out- 
stretched arms  to  welcome  us  to  our  homes,  let  us  ever  be 
grateful.
